The Last Waltz

          C                            Am
There�s a good chance my dancing won�t be up to speed
       Dm                        G
But if you follow something dont make it my lead
    C                      Am
I�m either too fast or I�m lost in between
           Dm         G
You should watch your toes

   
You�d think after all of the years that I spent
Watchin the bands play to their cigarettes
I would be better at this but I guess
That�s the way it goes


Bridge 1:
Am                       G
Later tonight they�ll be lockin the doors
Dm                     G
Counting the money and sweepin� the floors
        E                             F  
For the first time in years they wont play anymore
        G
For the dancers all spinnin� around
        F           G          C
They�re closing the honky tonk down


The World War I veteran that bought up this place
Died in the Sixities at 78
His wife kept it running and opened it late
Just to pay her bills

Bridge 2:
I�m prob�ly boring you nearly to death
But you look so pretty in that cotton dress
I saved my first and last dance for the best
Lady here waltzing around
They�re closing the honky tonk down

    C
Yodeleyeah
    Am
Yodeleyeah
    G
Yodeleyeah
    E  F  
Yodeleyeah


It was my pleasure to share that last dance
And I�m glad you gave an old man one more chance
To feel like a kid before part of his past
Slowly fades away

I hope I wasn�t too hard on your feet
You�re much too graceful for left footed me
And I only live a few blocks up the street
So I guess that I�ll see you around
They�re closing the honky tonk down
They�re closing the honky tonk down
