Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile
Written by: J. Cunningham
Performed by: David Allan Coe
Key: Bb (capo 1st fret)

Intro: Bm E A E A Bm E A D E A

Chorus:
N/C                 Bm
Mona Lisa lost her smile
E                                A    E A
The painter's hands are trembling now
                                Bm
And if she's out there running wild
E                             A    D E A
It's just because I taught her how
                             Bm
The masterpiece that we had planned
E                          A      E A
Is laying shattered on the ground
                    Bm
Mona Lisa lost her smile
E                                     A   D E A
And the painter's hands are trembling now


Verse I:
N/C                       Bm
And the eyes that used to burn for me
E                             A
Now they no longer look my way
                  Bm
And the love that used to be
B7                                E
Why, it just got lost in yesterday
N/C         A                     Bm
And if she seems cold to the touch
E                         A
Well there used to burn a flame
                            Bm
I gave too little, took too much
B7                              E
'Til I erased the painter's name
