F Oh play me a blues song and fade down the light
I'm C sad as a F proud man can Bb be sad to F night
F Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway
While the C sweet vio F lins and the Bb saxophones F play
And C Miss, you don't C/Bb know me, but G can't we pre C tend
That we Bb care for each other, till the C band reach the end
F One step for Bb aching
F Two steps for Bb breaking
Dm Waltzing's for G dreamers
And C losers in F love
F One step for Bb sighing and
F Two steps for Bb crying
Dm Waltzing's for G dreamers
And C losers in F love
They say love's for gamblers, the pendulum swings
I bet hard on love and I lost everything
So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm
And we'll drink out old memories and we'll drink in the dawn
And Mr. Bandleader, won't you play one more time
For I've good folding money in this pocket of mine.
Chorus
Richard Thompson
