Take This Waltz

         C                      
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty 
  Am
women
            C                      
There's a shoulder where Death 
      Am
comes to cry
           F                     
There's a lobby with nine hundred 
  G
windows
            F                      
There's a tree where the doves go 
   C
to die
           Am
There's a piece that was torn from 
the morning
        Dm           A7          Dm
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
F           C
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
           E7               Am
Take this waltz, take this waltz
           Dm                    
Take this waltz with the clamp on 
      F   G
its jaws

      C                       Am
Oh I want you, I want you, I want 
you
       C                    Am
On a chair with a dead magazine
        F                      G
In the cave at the tip of the lily
         F                         
In some hallways where love's never
  C
 been
      Am
On a bed where the moon has been 
sweating
     Dm               A7           
In a cry filled with footsteps and 
Dm
sand
F           C
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
           E7               Am
Take this waltz, take this waltz
           F                   Fm
Take its broken waist in your hand

      Am
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, 
this waltz
          Dm                Am
With its very own breath of brandy 
and Death
  F                       C  G
Dragging its tail in the sea

There's a concert hall in Vienna
            C                  
Where your mouth had a thousand 
    Am
reviews
           F                     
There's a bar where the boys have 
          G
stopped talking
              F                    
They've been sentenced to death by 
     C
the blues
        Am
Ah, but who is it climbs to your 
picture
        Dm         A7        Dm
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
F           C
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
           E7              Am
Take this waltz, take this waltz
           Dm                      
Take this waltz it's been dying for
  F    G
 years

            C                      
There's an attic where children are
   Am
 playing
            C                      
Where I've got to lie down with you
  Am
 soon
      F                   G
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
        F                       C
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
         Am
And I'll see what you've chained to 
your sorrow
          Dm             A7     
All your sheep and your lilies of 
   Dm
snow
F           C
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
           E7               Am
Take this waltz, take this waltz
                F                  
With its "I'll never forget you, 
   Fm
you know!

      Am
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, 
this waltz
          Dm                Am
With its very own breath of brandy 
and Death
  F                       C  G
Dragging its tail in the sea

          C                  Am
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
          C                  Am
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
      F                   G
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
     F                        C
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
          C                  Am
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
           C                       
With the photographs there, and the
  Am
 moss
          F                        
And I'll yield to the flood of your
  G
 beauty
     F                   C
My cheap violin and my cross
            Am
And you'll carry me down on your 
dancing
        Dm             A7         
To the pools that you lift on your
  Dm
 wrist
       F           C
Oh my love, Oh my love
           E7              Am
Take this waltz, take this waltz
      Dm                           
It's yours now, it's all that there
 F  C  G
 is

 C           Am
La, la, la... La, la, la
 C            Am
La, la, la... La, la, la
 F             G
La, la, la... La, la, la
 F            C
La, la, la... La, la, la
 Am
La, la, la... La, la, la
 Dm        A7 Dm
La, la, la... La, la, la
