Intro | D | D | A | A | | E7 | E7 | A | A |Verse 1:
A E7 When a record starts to spinnin' and love words make a song A I think of a million sweethearts, but only one I could own D Today your life is music and famous they say you will be A E7 A Darlin' sometimes write, a lonesome waltz for meBreak | D | D | A | A | | E7 | E7 | A | A |Verse 2:
A D/E E7 Put in some purdy love words, as fresh as the summer rain A I'll furnish plenty teardrops and pretend you're mine again D And if some day you'll find, you're just a used to be A E7 A Please come back 'n dance, this lonesome waltz for meVerse 3:
A E E7 When a story's told in music, for millions to hear its cry A There's always someone lonesome, who'll hang their head and cry D A waltz's so soft and touching, a love's so cold and lost A E7 A Darlin' please for ol' time sake, let's dance the lonesome waltz
