Short-Haired Woman Blues
Dave Rawlings Machine
DR Capo 1 Intro G D F C A7
Verse picked notes Em G A5 (C G/B) G
Met her on a harvest moon
Once upon a time in the Midwest
She told me as we stole away
That she was freer than all the rest (C-B)
With her G hair cut like a D farm boy
And her F cards so close to her C vest
Just how G much harm she could D do me
No F I never would have C guessed A
Chorus
E7 Don’t go chasing wild A ponies A-A5-A
E7 They’re half crazy and they A run A-A5-A
E7 Don’t go looking for (Ab) short-haired women
D They’re gonna leave you A crying A5-A
After (A) thinking it was D all in E fun E
Verse picked Em G A5 (C G/B) G
We came upon a boomer’s shack
She broke the windows just because
And there along the railroad track
She laid me down, that’s how she was (C-B)
With the G first rush of the D freight train
There was F rain on the high summer C corn
Oh it’s G just a game she D told me
I said F no, I am C reborn A-A5-A
Chorus
E7 Don’t go chasing wild A ponies A-A5-A
E7 They’re half crazy when they A run A-A5-A
E7 Don’t go looking for (Ab) short-haired women
D They’re gonna leave you A crying A5-A
After (A) thinking it was D all in E fun E
Picked x4 Mmm all in fun
