F#m B E       F#m            B                E
        Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
     F#m            B                E
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle blues
        G#m         E             A              F#m
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
      F#m            B                E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
F#m         B               E
My mind was young until she grew
F#m                      B         E
My secret thoughts known only by a few
         G#m            E          A                  F#m
It was a dream much too real to be leaned against too long
F#m         B                E
    All the time I think she knew
F#m             B               E
Her words still dance inside my head
F#m            B              E
Her comb still lies beside my bed
        G#m             E                 A                  F#m
And the sun comes up without her, it just doesn't know she's gone
F#m            B              E
But I remember everything she said
      F#m            B                E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
     F#m            B                E
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle blues
        G#m         E             A              F#m
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
      F#m            B                E    F#m B E 
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
