Tango Ballad

Bm7b5 X2320X


[Verse 1]

                      Am           
Macheath: There was a time, and now
               Dm
 it's all gone by
            E7                     
When we two lived together, she and
 Am
 I
           Am                      
The way we were, was just the way 
  Dm
to be
            B7                     
I cared for her, and she took care 
   E7
of me
         Bm7b5  E              
And that arrangement seemed to 
Bm7b5       E
work perfectly
            A
The milkman rang the bell, I got out
 of bed
I opened up her purse, paid him what
    D
 he said

I had a glass of milk, and back in 
bed I'd climb
You understand she was out working 
        A
all the time
          Bm7b5                   
And so we lived, me and my little 
Am
mouse
             Am                E7 
In that snug two by four where we 
     Am
kept house

[Verse 2]

                  Am               
Jenny: That was a time, and now 
           Dm
it's all gone by
             E7                    
When we two lived together, she and
 Am
 I

             Am                    
But when the day would bring no job
    Dm
 to me
               B7                  
He'd curse and say how lazy can you
 E7
 be
             Bm7b5    E         
I'll let him huff and puff I've 
Bm7b5        E
worked long enough
            A
But when he drank too much, I'd get 
kinda grim
And shout the house down how I stood
              D
 a clown like him

And then he'd turn around and try to
 bite my arm
And I would kick him in the teeth, 
           A
meaning no harm
          Bm7b5                  
It was so sweet to be his little 
Am
spouse
             Am                E7 
In that foul two by four where we 
       Am
played house


[Verse 3]

                   Am              
Together: Oh happy time and now 
           Dm
it's all gone by
         E7                       Am
Until we quit each other, you and I
                     Am            
Jenny: You stayed in bed all day 
            Dm
and don't you smirk
                      B7       
Macheath: You know we said that 
                  E7
you'd do all the work
                    Bm7b5      E7 
Now sleep's for the night they say
          Bm7b5  E7
 It ain't bad by day
                 A
Jenny: So then I had my fill, swore 
I wouldn't stir
Macheath: It looked like soon I 
                        D
would be taking care of her

Jenny: You'd think a woman had a 
right to have one gripe
You left me flat. Macheath: Well I 
                       A
just ain't the working type
              Bm7b5        
We locked the door and each 
              Am
commenced to roam
              Am               E7 
Goodbye sweet two by four that we 
       Am
called home
