Delta Queen Waltz

   D              A            D 
Oh we boarded the boat on the 
                   A
breast of the river so wide
                   D            
And we left old St. Louis on the 
     G                     D
crest of that brown muddy tide
                      A            
To the strains of the Delta Queen's
 D
 band
    A            D           D
I found myself holding your hand
                A               D 
The way we had hoped we would do 
                   A
all that summer and fall

    D             A             D
Oh the whistle came out, such a 
                        A
deep mellow sound in the night
Continues after the ad
                 D             
And the echo came back from the 
       G                D
shoreline of twinkling lights
              A                  D
There was nothing we really could 
say
  A           D
The river had swept us away
        A                          
Like a present hereafter, the warm 
D        A
sound of laughter
                   A           
As we danced to the Delta Queen 
 D
Waltz

[Instrumental]
             A                D   
 As the big wheel keeps rolling I 
        A           D
find myself holding you near
                   D             
With the night time unfolding I'm 
      G                D
lucky just having you here
                 A             
As a single wave curls down the 
 D                   G
shore, we're waltzing away cross the
 D
floor
                A               
As our heart beats assemble, the 
               D
boat lightly trembles
                A               D
As we dance to the Delta Queen Waltz
