Текст песни Misc Originals — Ben Puttmann — Etta Mainstreet + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
[Intro]
G Cadd9 D
[Verse 1]
G
Etta Mainstreet was a girl about town
Cadd9
She caught the eyes of the boys who’d stand hanging around
D G
To catch the eye of the girl they should only be dreaming about
[Verse 2]
G
Her daddy was a rich man, down at the bank
Cadd9
He signed the notes for the lawyers and shook their hands in thanks
D G
For helpin’ give Etta a life, his daddy gave to him
[Chorus]
C D
Etta Mainstreet, she had a big city smile
G Em
And a small town soul that didn’t match with the life
Cadd9 Cadd9 D
Of a big city girl shining bright on her daddy’s big stage
C D
She wanted a quiet little 40, to be a white picket wife
G Em
With three in the front yard and one inside
Cadd9 Cadd9 D
And waiting as a working class wife, for her middle class man
C D
He’d pour a cup of coffee, then kiss Etta goodbye
G Em
N’tell his pretty little girls that he would see them tonight
Cadd9 D G
Where he’ll get back home and they’ll all get back to the rest of their lives
[Verse 3]
G
Etta Mainstreet was a girl about town
Cadd9
Her daddy picked the boy while she picked the gown
D G
None of it mattered to Etta because neither one fit
[Verse 4]
G
The dreams in Etta’s head were going up in smoke
Cadd9
As they frosted that cake and lit fire to her hopes
D G
Of one day making a life with her middle class man
[Chorus]
C D
Etta Mainstreet, she had a big city smile
G Em
And a small town soul that didn’t match with the life
Cadd9 Cadd9 D
Of a big city girl shining bright on her daddy’s big stage
C D
She wanted a quiet little 40, to be a white picket wife
G Em
With three in the front yard and one inside
Cadd9 Cadd9 D
And waiting as a working class wife, for her middle class man
C D
He’d pour a cup of coffee, then kiss Etta goodbye
G Em
N’tell his pretty little girls that he would see them tonight
Cadd9 D G
Where he’ll get back home and they’ll all get back to the rest of their lives
[Verse 5]
G
Etta Mainstreet was a girl about town
Cadd9
Who was tired of the boys, and the bank, and the sounds
D G
Of the mainstreet traffic screaming louder than her small town soul
[Verse 6]
G
It was time for Etta Mainstreet to burn the town down
Cadd9
With a smile as fire bright, as the white on her gown
D G
Her daddy stood smolderin’, as Etta put a match to his plan
[Chorus]
C D
Etta Mainstreet, she found her big city smile
G Em
And her small town soul finally matched with the life
Cadd9 Cadd9 D
Of a small town girl shining bright on her hubby’s big stage
C D
She got her quiet little 40, she was a white picket wife
G Em
With three in the front yard and one inside
Cadd9 Cadd9 D
She’d waited her wholllle wealthy life, for her middle class man
C D
She’d pour his cup of coffee, he’d kiss Etta goodbye
G Em
N’tell his pretty little girls that he would see them tonight
Cadd9 D G
Where he’ll get back home and they’ll all get back to the rest of their lives
