Penelope Rose Chords by Mean Mary & The Contrarys

Penelope Rose Chords by Mean Mary & The Contrarys

Capo 3 
 
Intro
Em     x8
 
Verse 1
Em           C           D            Em
Some men are cowards and some men are brave,
                 G             D/F#               Em
Some share their secrets, some take them to their grave,
Em           C              D          Em
Some walk in sunlight, some hide in shadows,
Em                  D      Em    Em
But they all love Penelope Rose.
 
Verse 2
Em                 C     D            Em
He came from Baton Rouge working on a case,
             C             D             Em
A law man, a good man, who lived for the chase,
  Em           C          D          Em
A picture of a woman in a red cotton dress,
Em               D      Em     Em
Was a dead man’s last caress.
  
Chorus 1
   Em            D           A/C#        C
He drunk in that picture and came on the gin,
B7        Am              G               B7
dangerous eyes that could make a good man sin,
Em             D            A/C#        C*
He’d memorized her from her head to her toes,
         C             D      Em
And he’d dream about Penelope Rose.
  
Instrumental
Em     x8
  
Verse 3
    Em         C          D          Em
For ten lonely years he’s worked homicide,
            G             D/F# Em
Turning his back would be justified,
         Em           C      D              Em
But he’s tangled in a web of cases he can’t close,
    Em        D      Em    Em
All tied to Penelope Rose.
 
Verse 4
     Em           C              D       Em
They call her the woman with the rose tattoo,
         C                 D       Em
In New Orleans she goes by Penny LaRue,
     Em          C          D         Em
He’d know her anywhere, any name, any clothes,
      Em         D      Em     Em
He’ll find his Penelope Rose.
  
Chorus 2
        Em          D              A/C#  C
He’ll uncover every secret in Louisian’,
     B7          Am         G               B7
They say he’s a genius - he always gets his man,
   Em           D       A/C#       C*
Or maybe he's a mad man chasing shadows,
            C           C      C
And he’s in love with Penelope Rose,
  D      Em
Penelope Rose.

Chorus 3
Em               D           A/C#  C
Some say they’ve seen her in New Orleans,
B                 Am            G      B7
Some say they ‘ve seen her on a silver screen,
Em        D              A/C#      C*
He sees a ghost when the warm wind blows,
     C            D      Em
That looks like Penelope Rose.
