Verses 1 & 2:
There's a pub on the south side of town
Time stands still while there's still wine around
She's the one in the calico
The one who's always and never alone
Keep her glass full of cheap champagne
She will tell of a man with no name
Smoke and mirrors have done her in
She's in love and she won't be again

Did she let him go?
Or did the four winds blow him away?
Does she even know?
She's the girl with the red balloon

version 2
Tuning: Standard
***NOTE: I'm not 100% sure that the B7 chord is the correct chord. I know it
has a B note in it and it sounded closer than Em, B, or G. If you think you've
figured it out let me know! Also, play the song in a polka fashion, waltzy if
you will in a 3/4 time signature I believe (never took music theory...)
Intro:
Am E Am E x4
VERSE:

There's a pub on the South side of town

Time stands still while there's still wine around

She's the one in the calico
C G Dm E Am
The one who's always and never alone
CHORUS:
F C B7
Oooh - Did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away

REPEAT INTRO:
VERSE:
Am E Am E Am E Am C/B
Keep her glass full of cheap champagne

C G Dm E Am
She's in love and she won't be again
CHORUS:
