                                "Patches"
                       (Barry Mann - Larry Kolber)
 Intro:
 	Ab7 [xx4114]
 Verse 1:
 
 	 Db                     Gb          Db/Ab
 	Down by the river that flows by the coalyards
 	 Db                       Gb            Ab
 	Stand wooden houses with shutters torn down
 	  Db           Fm        Gb         Db/Ab
 	There lives a girl everybody calls Patches
 	 Db                     Ab7        Db     A7
 	Patches, my darling, of old Shantytown
 
 [key change to D]
 
 Verse 2:
 
 	D                         G                D/A
 	We planned to marry when June brought the summer
 	D                         G          A
 	I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride
 	 D          F#m           G       D/A
 	Now I don't see how that ever can happen
 	D                        A7            D
 	My folks say no and my heart breaks inside
 
 Chorus 1:
 
 	  D         A/G        A7    [the A/G is probably a mistake]
 	Patches, oh what can I do
 	G             D
 	I swear I'll always love you
 	       G                               D          Bm
 	But a girl from that place will just bring me disgrace
 	   D               A7          D    Bb7
 	So my folks won't let me love you
 
 	[key change to Eb]
 
 Verse 3:
 
 	Eb                     Ab           Eb/Bb
 	Each night I cry as I think of that shanty
 	Eb                         Ab          Bb
 	And pretty Patches there watching the door
 	Eb           Gm          Ab          Eb/Bb
 	She doesn't know that I can't come to see her
 	 Eb                        Bb7         Eb    B7
 	Patches must think that I love her no more
 
 	[key change to E]
 
 Verse 4:
 
 	E                  A          E/B
 	I hear a neighbor telling my father
 	E                       A            B
 	He says a girl name of Patches was found
 	 E            G#m           A         E/B
 	Floating face down in that dirty old river
 	       E                       B7         E
 	That flows by the coalyards in old Shantytown
 
 Chorus 2:
 
 	  E          B
 	Patches, oh what can I do
 	A             E
 	I swear I'll always love you
 	    A                         E          C#m
 	It may not be right but I'll join you tonight
 	  E [N.C.]
 	Patches, I'm comin' to you
