Originally recorded by Gram Parsons but this version is lovely. Probably played in open chords, transposed
+2 and with a capo on the 2nd fret or, if you don't have a capo, play it like this using bar chords, still
sounds good
F#m B E F#m B E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
F#m B E
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle blues
G#m E A F#m
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
F#m B E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
F#m B E
My mind was young until she grew
F#m B E
My secret thoughts known only by a few
G#m E A F#m
It was a dream much too real to be leaned against too long
F#m B E
All the time I think she knew
F#m B E
Her words still dance inside my head
F#m B E
Her comb still lies beside my bed
G#m E A F#m
And the sun comes up without her, it just doesn't know she's gone
F#m B E
But I remember everything she said
F#m B E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
F#m B E
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle blues
G#m E A F#m
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
F#m B E F#m B E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
