The Red Light Saloon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]It was early one morning,
I walked into town,
And in sweet recreation
I was strollin' around.
When I spied this hotel
[Bbm]in the[C] poor afternoon,
That was sporting a sign,
said the red light [G]saloon.
[C]So I boldly walked in
and I stepped to the bar,
Where a pretty young lady said,
Have a cigar.
I took that cigar,
[Am]saying thank[C]s for the boon,
But she said that's our way
In the red light [G]saloon.
[C]Then she mussed up my hair
and sat down on my knee
Saying, you are a logger,
it's easy to see
Saying, you are a lumberjack,
that we all know
Oh, your muscles are hard
from your head to your toe
[Db]She proc[C]eeded to test if
my muscles were right,
Till I smoked that cigar
without striking the light.
My head [Db]it was [C]rising like a balloon
from the treatment I got in
the red light [Db]saloon.[C]
It was early next morning,
I bid her good -bye.
She waved from the window
with a tear [G]in [C]her eye.
So I did not discover till the middle of June
I was carrying a [Am]keepsake
of [C]the red -light sa[Db]loon.[C][G][C]
[Db]Well, [C]I cursed that young lady
till the heaven turned blue
And with whiskey and [Db]wo men
I [C]swore I was through
But with [C]all of [Db]my s[C]wearin[Bbm]g
[C]I'd give my fortune
[C]Just to be back in bed
in the red light salute.
[C]
