VERSE: 
         G5         C5        D5                D5         
Sweet Lorraine the fiery haired brown eyed schemer 
    G5           C5        D5                  D5    
Who came from a long line of drinkers and dreamers 
    G5         C5          D5               D5 
Who knew that sunshine don't hold up to dark 
      G5          C5    D5                D5    
Whose businesses fail who sleep in the park 
   G5          C5    D5                  D5 
Lo-rraine who spoke of paintings in Paris 
    G5          C5         D5                       D5 
And outlandish things to her family just to scare us 
      G5          C5        D5                       D5  
Whose heart went pokin' where it shouldn't ought 
      C5              G5           D5 
whose mother could only, spit at the thought 
   C5        G5       C5  D5 D5   G5   C5   D5 
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine 
 
VERSE: 
D5 G5            C5           D5 
Her   father would tear out like a page of the Bible 
     G5              C5        D5                   D5  
Then he'd burn down the house to announce his arrival 
     G5         C5       D5              D5  
Her mother was working and never was home 
    G5           C5        D5              D5   
Lorraine carved out a little life of her own 
   G5             C5       D5                 D5  
Lorraine started working, Lorraine went to school 
     G5                  C5         D5                D5  
Her mother threw stones at her on the day that she moved 
         G5          C5          D5          D5  
Well now isn't that a very strange thing to do 
    Cadd                    G5        D5 
For someone who never really wanted you 
     C5      G5    C5   D5 D5 
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine 
 
BRIDGE: 
    A5                 C5 
Her daddy calls her a slut and a whore 
       G5                D5            
On the night before her wedding day 
A5                      C5 
 The very next morning, at the church 
    D5              C5         C5 
Her daddy gave, Lorraine away, Lorraine away 
C5           G5       C5   D5   D5  
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine 
 
VERSE: 
      G5          C5         D5            D5  
In the battle of time, in the battle of will 
     G5         C5         D5                    D5  
It's only your hope and your heart that gets killed 
         G5          C5               D5               D5  
And it's harder and harder Lorraine, to believe in magic 
          C5               G5       D5                   
when what came before you was so very tragic 
  C5               G5    C5   D5   D5  G5    C5   D5   D5 
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine
