Buttons and Bows

 
 6  -6   7   -8   8    9 -10 
East is East and West is West

-10  9   -10   9  8  7    8
and the wrong one I have chose.

-10  -10  -10  -10     9   8  -8  7  
Let's go where you'll keep on wearing

 -6     6     7  -6 -6
those frills and flowers

7     6  6   7  -6    
And buttons and bows,

 6    7   -6      7  -7 7    -8   7
rings and things and buttons and bows.

verse 2

Don't bury me on the lone prairie,
take me where the cement grows.
Let's move down to some big town
where they love a gal by
The cut of her clothes
and your stand out in buttons and bows.

refrain

 7    7   -8   7 -10 -9  
I'll love you in buckskin

 9  -10   -10   9      -9    8
or skirts that you've home spun

 8  -9     9  -10  8  7   
But I'll love you longer,

  8  7     8    7    -10    -10    9  -9  9
stronger where your friends don't tote a gun.

verse 3

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
and the cactus hurts my toes.
Let's vamoose to where the galls keep wearing
those silks and satins
And linen that shows and you're all mine
in buttons and bows.

(I like to play this on my low Eb Golden Melody
or my low D Big River.)
