Helen Of Troy Pa

|D   |D   E| |C Em Am D|
In this, the | | indicate 4 beats (a full measure), so the D takes an entire measure, and then the D and E
share a measure, and the decending 4 chords all share a single measure.
Hook 2: occurs after every chorus, and includes a riff over the D chord for 4 bars.
**note from commenter: Drop D tuning, The first Em in the hook is actually an A7sus4 shape X-0-2-0-3-0 and the second ending chord in that intro (hook 2?) is some kind of Bm variant played 0-2-0-0-3-0

It was the first time we really took a chance
            D
To view the world behind our fathers' backs
            D                            A
We left our parents playing rummy by the cottage porch light
          C               Em               G            D
And went walkin' down to Helen's on that sweet summer night
        C         Em      A
And we flipped a coin to see
           C        Em        A
Who would have to knock when she
              D
Opened up her door,
     C    Em A
and asked us in...

She was twice the age of me and Tony
       D
Brown eyed, recently divorced, and lonely
        D                                  A
And we lied about our high school football team
       C           Em               G        D
Number one in the state because of Tony and me
         C     Em       A
And she sensed our awkwardness
       C      Em           A
And unzipped her calico dress
               D
And called us over to kiss her
C    Em    A
One at a time (one at a time boys, can you hear me)

        D
Well we rocked to the drone of large mosquitoes
          D
Rhythm of moths against drumhead screen
      D
Syncopation of Frigidaire motor
         C                         A
With her bobtail cat looking at us, real mean

She went to the kitchen, to get us something to drink
D
And me and Tony washed ourselves in the bathroom sink
D
Doin' the chicken-neck, the high-five, and the monkey noise

           C      Em              A       D
Glad to be happy, healthy, heterosexual boys
       C          Em      A
And we drank her herbal tea (red zinger I do believe)
N.C.
And good golly miss molly-ed all the way home
