[Intro]
 G F G D A D
GFive lonely days Dwhen I rode into town
Down from the mines to lay some money Adown
CStopped at a tavern they cDalled ?The Sweet GPrincess?
DThere I met the girl in the Ared satin Ddress
DHer gown shimmered scarlet as she walked across the room
I could see her soft skin and smell her sweet Aperfume
CHer eyes flashed with lightning, she Dbeckoned with a Gglance
My Dlife might be in danger, I tAhought I'd take a Dchance
CHair black as a raven and Deyes full of fire
CVoice soft as a whisper fDilled me with dAesire
DCaptured by her charm, like a man Gpossessed
I Dfell for the girl in the Ared satin DdresCsG  D  A  D  
GI crept to a room at the tDop of the stairs
I could smell her perfume, I knew she was tAhere
CBut when I stepped inside I Dfaced another Gman
DShe came from behind, my Aknife was in her Dhand
DI don't know what happened, my head was spinnin' 'round
I heard a soft voice whisper and stumbled to the Aground
CI saw a man lyin' , my Dknife deep in his Gchest
And Dgone was the girl in the Ared satin Ddress
BREAK
C D C D A D G D A D
GStandin' in the courtroom, Dstarin' at each face
Lookin' there for mercy, but can't find a Atrace
CThey don't believe my story, Dtime's run out I Gguess
                         D           A       D   C   F   G   D   C?
No one's seen a girl in a red satin dress
GIt's a long, long walk to the Dtop of the stairs
At the top I'll stretch a rope and nobody Acares
CThere's no one here to mourn when they Dlay me down to Grest
DAll for the girl in the Ared satin Ddress
CHair black as a raven and Deyes full of fire
CVoice soft as a whisper fDilled me with dAesire
DCaptured by her charm, like a man Gpossessed
I fDell for the girl in the Ared satin Ddress
DDon't fall for the girl in the red satin GdressG  F  D

Five lonely days when I rode into town

Down from the mines to lay some money down

There I met the girl in the red satin dress

Her gown shimmered scarlet as she walked across the room

I could see her soft skin and smell her sweet perfume

Voice soft as a whisper filled me with desire

Captured by her charm, like a man possessed

I fell for the girl in the red satin dress

But when I stepped inside I faced another man

She came from behind, my knife was in her hand

I don't know what happened, my head was spinnin' 'round

And gone was the girl in the red satin dress

No one's seen a girl in a red satin dress
