Red Ragtop Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][Am]
[G]I was twenty and she was eighteen
We were [Am]just about as wild as we were green
In the [G]ways of the [Am]world
She'd [G]pick me up in that red rag top
We were [Am]free of the folks and hiding
from the cops
On a [G]summer night
Running all the [Am]red lights
We'd [G]park way out in a clearing in a grove
And the [Am]night was as hot
as a coal-burning stove
We were [G]cooking with gas
Knew it [Am]had to last

[Chorus 1]
In the back of that [C]red [G]rag [Am]top
She said [C]please [G]don't [Am]stop

[Verse 2]
Well the [G]very first time her mother met me
Her [Am]green-eyed girl had been a mother-to-be
For [G]two [Am]weeks
I was [G]out of job and
she was in school
And [Am]life was fast and the world was cruel
We were [G]young and wild
We decided not to [Am]have the child
So we [G]did what we did and we tried to forget
And we [Am]swore up and down
there would be no regrets
In the [G]morning light
But on the way [Am]home that night

[Chorus 2]
On the back of that [C]red [Bm]rag [Am]top
She said [C]please [Bm]don't [Am]stop
Lovin' [G]me[Am]

[Bridge 1]
We took [C]one more [Bm]trip a[Am]round the [Em]sun
But it was [C]all make be[Bm]lieve in the [Am]end
And no I [C]can't say [Bm]where she [Am]is toda[Em]y
I can't re[Am]member who I was back [Bm]then
[Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
[G][Am]
Well you [G]do what you do and you
pay for your sins
And there's [Am]no such thing
as what might have been
That's a [G]waste of time
Drive you [Am]out of your mind
I was [G]stopped at a red light just yesterday
Be[Am]side a young girl in a cabriolet
And her [G]eyes were green
And I was in an [Am]old scene

[Chorus 3]
I was back in that [C]red [G]rag [Am]top
On the [C]day [G]she [Am]stopped
loving [G]me[Am]

[Chorus 4]
I was back in that [C]red [G]rag [Am]top
On the [C]day [G]she [Am]stopped loving me

[Outro 1]
