Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Well the night  came undone like a party dress
 And fell at her feet in a beautiful  mess
 The smoke  and whisky came home in her curls
 And crept through the dreams  of the barroom  girls
 She tosses  and turns 'cause the sun is unkind
 And the heat of the day is coming in  through the blinds
 Save  all your blue skies for the rest of the world
 'Cause the neon shines  for the barrooms  girls
 The barroom  girls go by  your side
 Like the ponies  you pass on a carousel  ride
 And all  of the colours go round in a swirl
 When you dance in the arms  of the barroom  girls
 Now she rolls  to her feet 'cause she can't sleep no more
 And looks at the clothes laying out  on the floor
 Last  night's spangles and yesterday's pearls
 Are the bright morning stars  of the barroom  girls

Well the n[G]ight came undone like a party dress
And fell at her feet in a b[D]eautiful mess
The sm[G]oke and whisky came home in her cu[C]rls
And crept through the dr[G]eams of the [D]barroom g[G]irls

She tos[G]ses and turns 'cause the sun is unkind
And the heat of the day is coming i[D]n through the blinds
S[G]ave all your blue skies for the rest of the wo[C]rld
'Cause the neon sh[G]ines for the b[D]arrooms gi[G]rls

The b[D]arroom girls go [G]by your side
Like the p[A]onies you pass on a c[D]arousel ride
And a[G]ll of the colours go round in a sw[C]irl
When you dance in the a[G]rms of the b[D]arroom gi[G]rls

Now she ro[G]lls to her feet 'cause she can't sleep no more
And looks at the clothes laying o[D]ut on the floor
L[G]ast night's spangles and yesterday's pe[C]arls
Are the bright morning st[G]ars of the b[D]arroom gi[G]rls
