Verse 1
A Frenchman (G major) was having an
argument with an American
about the relative sophistication of their cultures,
and the American said,
as proof that America
was sophisticated,
we're making a motion picture in
America
based on a book which is banned
in France.
And the Frenchman said,
really, what book?
The American says, it's called Peter,
and it's about a 49 -year -old man
who makes love to a 12 -year -old.
The Frenchman said,
really, a 12 -year -old what?
Well, people have found companionship
with very many odd creatures.
(A flat major) (D major) (A flat major) (G major)
(C major) And amon (G major) g them,
the (D major) fellow in this (G major) song called Old Loris.
Dolores is a town.
In the (E minor) (C major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (C major) (D major)
valley (G major) down be (E minor) low
where (D major) the (C major) little pinions grow,
(A minor) And it's (D major) never less than
half a day to (G major) wa ter,
There used to be a (E minor) town
(D major) where the (C major) crick come (A minor) tum bling down,
From the (D major) Mesa where it never really ought (G major)
The (D major) night was bright with candle (G major) light,
(D major) the whole town joined
the (G major) chorus,
and most any man in sight
(E minor) let his can (C major) non drift at night
(A minor) to (D major) mosey to the streets of old
(G major) Dolores. (E minor) (C major) (A minor) (D major)
(G major)
Then things would kind of (E minor) spin
till the (C major) sun come (A minor) up again
Like the (D major) back of some old
yellow prairie wag (G major) on
And would show up dim and (E minor) red
About (C major) half a hundred (A minor) head
Of our (D major) saddle ponies,
standin' reins a (G major) -draggin'
Red (D major) brick walls and the (G major) waterfalls
The (D major) whole world lay before (G major) us
But the Dolby huts are (E minor) gone
(D major) And the (C major) gold mills in the (A minor) dock
Don't (D major) tinkle in the streets of Old
(G major) Elorz (E minor) (C major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor)
(D major) (G major)
I am the girl who's from Mexico,
(E minor) used to (C major) wander to and fro
When (D major) I used to meet her by a willow (G major)
(B minor) Well, (G major) I guess that any girl
would (D major) give a (C major) fellow's man a twirl
(A minor) When the (D major) same has been used
in saddles for a (G major) pillar
(B minor) The (D major) big cigars, the wide (A minor) -eyed (B minor) stars,
(D major) the smiles that waited (G major) for us.
Well, if there's any little world
(E minor) inside (C major) the (A minor) gates of hell,
I'll (D major) bet the boys have named it
all along. (G major) (E minor) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
Thank
Thank you. Thank
Old Dolores
