Five lonely days when I rode into town
A
Down from the mines to lay some money down
C D G
Stopped at a tavern they called “The Sweet Princess”
D A D
There I met the girl in the red satin dress
D
Her gown shimmered scarlet as she walked across the room
A
I could see her soft skin and smell her sweet perfume
C D G
Her eyes flashed with lightning, she beckoned with a glance
D A D
My life might be in danger, I thought I'd take a chance
C D
Hair black as a raven and eyes full of fire
C D A
Voice soft as a whisper filled me with desire
D G
Captured by her charm, like a man possessed
D A D C G D A D
I fell for the girl in the red satin dress
G D
I crept to a room at the top of the stairs
A
I could smell her perfume, I knew she was there
C D G
But when I stepped inside I faced another man
D A D
She came from behind, my knife was in her hand
D
I don't know what happened, my head was spinnin' 'round
A
I heard a soft voice whisper and stumbled to the ground
C D G
I saw a man lyin' , my knife deep in his chest
D A D
And gone was the girl in the red satin dress

G D
Standin' in the courtroom, starin' at each face
A
Lookin' there for mercy, but can't find a trace
C D G
They don't believe my story, time's run out I guess
D A D C F G D C ?
No one's seen a girl in a red satin dress
G D
It's a long, long walk to the top of the stairs
A
At the top I'll stretch a rope and nobody cares
C D G
There's no one here to mourn when they lay me down to rest
D A D
All for the girl in the red satin dress
C D
Hair black as a raven and eyes full of fire
C D A
Voice soft as a whisper filled me with desire

Captured by her charm, like a man possessed
