Patches

Tom: C#

Verso 1:
	 Db                     Gb          Db/Ab
Down by the river that flows by the coalyards
	 Db                       Gb            Ab
Stand wooden houses with shutters torn down
	  Db           Fm        Gb         Db/Ab
There lives a girl everybody calls Patches
	 Db                     Ab7        Db     A7
Patches, my darling, of old Shantytown

Verso 2:
	D                         G                D/A
We planned to marry when June brought the summer
	D                         G          A
I couldn´t wait to make Patches my bride
	 D          F#m           G       D/A
Now I don´t see how that ever can happen
	D                        A7            D
My folks say no and my heart breaks inside

Refrão:
	  D         A/G        A7    
Patches, oh what can I do
	G             D
I swear I´ll always love you
	       G                               D          Bm
But a girl from that place will just bring me disgrace
	   D               A7          D    Bb7
So my folks won´t let me love you

Verso 3:
        Eb                     Ab           Eb/Bb
Each night I cry as I think of that shanty
        Eb                         Ab          Bb
And pretty Patches there watching the door
        Eb           Gm          Ab          Eb/Bb
She doesn´t know that I can´t come to see her
        Eb                        Bb7         Eb    B7
Patches must think that I love her no more

Verso 4:
        E                  A          E/B
I hear a neighbor telling my father
	E                       A            B
He says a girl name of Patches was found
	 E            G#m           A         E/B
Floating face down in that dirty old river
	       E                       B7         E
That flows by the coalyards in old Shantytown

Refrão:
         E          B
Patches, oh what can I do
        A             E
I swear I´ll always love you
            A                         E          C#m
It may not be right but I´ll join you tonight
         E  
Patches, I´m comin´ to you
