[Cm]
We're learning how to change my ballroom girl, [F] wear them sevens on her sleeves, dancing like
a diamond [Eb] chain, tells me [Cm] lies I love to believe.
[C] Her age is always 22, her laughing eyes are hazel [Eb] green, spins my money like a [F] waterfall,
loves me like I want her to, loves me like [Cm] I want her to.
[Ab] [Cm]
[Ab] [Eb]
Eloretta, won't you see me, [Ab] darling, put [Eb] your guitar on, have a little shot of booze,
play a blue and a wailing song, [Bb] when guitar rings and melodies, [Ab] when guitar sings [Eb] and
let us hum, lonely, lazy, blonde and free, and I [Cm] can have a rainy [Eb] time, I can have a rainy [Cm] time.

You're the sweetest at the break of day, prettiest at the setting sun, she don't cry when I can't
stay, at least not till she's all alone.
[Bb] Eloretta, I won't be gone [Ab] long, and keep you dancing in a super [Eb] zone, keep me on your mind
and water, I'll be back there to make you smile, I'll be back there to make you [Cm] smile.
