Patches:Dickey Lee. #6 in 1962. ***In the original there are 4 key changes. I marked them as capo/barre 1st fret, etc.*** #1.(Capo/barre 1st fret. Key ) Down by the river that flows by the coal yards, stand wooden houses with shutters torn down. There lives a girl everybody calls Patches. Patches my darling of old Shanty town. #2. (Capo/barre 2nd fret. Key ) We planned to marry when June brought the summer. I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride. Now I don't see how that ever can happen.. My folks say no, and my heart breaks inside. Pat..ches, oh, what can I do? I swear I'll always love you. But a girl from that place would just bring me disgrace, so my folks won't let me love you. #3. (Capo/barre 3rd fret. Key ) Each night I cry, as I think of that shanty. And pretty patches there watching the door. She doesn't know that I can't come to see her.. Patches must think, that I love her no more. #4. (Capo/barre 4th fret. Key ) I hear a neighbor telling my father.. He says a girl name of Patches was found, floating face down in that dirty old river, that flows by the coal yards in old Shan..ty town. Pat..ches, oh, what can I do? I swear I'll always love you. It may not be right but I'll join you tonight.. Patches I'm coming to you. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
