Girl From The Renaissance Faire Tab

by Ethan Lipton And His Orchestra


Alright, sports fans.
This version of the song just has 3 basic major chords.  In the actual song, from what I 
anyway, there's single notes being played, but this sounds better if you're playing alone.

                                                   
I know that it matters.. but that mean doesn’t mean you should care
                                                  
I left my wife and only child for a girl at the Renaissance Faire
                                     
Her name was Rowena: she came from Camelot
                        
She spoke with the darlingest English accent...
        
or at least that’s what I thought

                           
Chorus: Her bosoms were heaving..
                        
her hair smelled like steak...
                                                   
she poured me beer from her lips and I drank and I drank

                                       
Well, I quit selling software; bought an RV
                 
Picked up some cashews for Rowena
                 
I drove us from sea to shining sea
                            
she did the Ren Faire in Phoenix
                            
she did the Ren Faire in joliet
                             
she did the Ren Faire in Fredricksburg
                             
Fredricksburg isn’t over her yet
                            
Chorus: Her bosoms were heaving..
                     
her hair smelled like steak...
                                                   
she poured me beer from her lips and I drank and I drank
                      
Some nights she got cranky
                     
some nights she got mean
                                               
some nights she got busy behind the snow cone machine.
                                                
But I always forgave her when she came home and cried.
                                                       
No, I never felt down on my luck when I woke up with Rowena by my side.

                           
Chorus: Her bosoms were heaving..
           
her hair smelled like steak...
                                                    
she poured me beer from her lips and I drank and I drank

                                          
one day she went jousting out in west Tennessee
                                                     
she took a lance to the helmet shattered most of her teeth
                                                  
she lost an eye in a bar fight lost her leg to gangrene
                                                    
ah but you know Rowena my love still the darlingest thing

                           
Chorus: Her bosoms were heaving..
           
her hair smelled like steak...
                                                    
she poured me beer from her lips and I drank and I drank

                                                 
and it was raining in Downey when I asked her to wed she said
                                           
“what are you crazy?” and she hopped out of bed
                                                 
she knocked over the table and she hopped to the door
                                                    
she said “I don’t sign contracts” and left my life forevermore

                       
Chorus: Her bosoms were heaving..
         
her hair smelled like steak...
                                                    
she poured me beer from her lips and I drank and I drank

                                             
Now I’m heading for the desert gonna burn this RV
                                                              
tell your mommy that I’d loved her and stay away from men like me
                
I would tell you I was following my heart
                        
and I’d do anything to make you care
                                                              
but I gave up everything I had for a girl at the renaissance faire

--and I’d do it again!

                       
Chorus: Her bosoms were heaving..
           
her hair smelled like steak...
                                                 
she poured me beer from her lips and I drank and I drank
                     
she poured me beeEEEEr...

*end of song*

So yeah. Good luck with that!
