Two Girls by Townes Van Zandt
Two Girls
capo 4
The (C)clouds didn't look like (Dm)cotton
they didn't (G)even (F)look like (C)clouds
I was underneath the (Dm)weather
and my (G)friends looked (F)like A (C)crowd
The (Am)swimmin hole was (C)full of rum
I (F)tried to find out (C)why
all I (Dm)learned my friend
is you've got to (G)swim be(F)fore you (C)fly.
chorus:
I've got (F)two (C)girls
one's in (Am)heaven, one's (C)below
one I love with (Dm)all my heart
and (G)one I (F)do not (C)know.
Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse
Passed by not long ago
They asked me where the action was
I said I did not know
And as they disappeared into the brush
I heard the driver say
He's a little slow between the ears
He's always been that way
chorus
Jolly Jane just lays around and listens with her mouth.
She's had about a dozen husbands,
but the last one just pulled out.
Now who's gonna bring her dinner
through the weary years ahead?
All she'll get from me is sympathy,
got no time to see she's fed.
chorus
Cold down on the bayou,
they say it's in your mind.
But the moccasins are treadin' ice
and leavin' strange designs
Cajuns say the last time
this happened they werent' here
Aw, beaumont's full of penguins
and I'm a playin' it by ear.
chorus 2x and out.

they didn't even look like clouds.

I was underneath the weather,
G F C
and my friends looked like a crowd.

I tried to find out why.

All I learned was this my friend,
G F C
you've got to swim before you fly.
CHORUS:
F C
I've got two girls,
Am Dm

Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse,
passed by not long ago.
They asked me where the action was,
I said I did not know.
And as they disappeared into the brush,
I heard the driver say.
He's a little slow between the ears,
he's always been that way.
CHORUS
Jolly Jane just lays around and listens with her mouth.
She's had about a dozen husbands,
but the last one just pulled out.
Now who's gonna bring her dinner,
through the weary years ahead?
All she'll get from me is sympathy,
got no time to see she's fed.
CHORUS
Now cold down on the bayou,
they say it's in your mind.
But the moccasins are treadin' ice,
and leavin' strange designs.
Cajuns say the last time,
this happened they weren't here.
All Beaumont's full of penguins,
and I'm a playin' it by ear.
