Verse 1
(B major) (F sharp major)
Now in Vi (B major) enna
there's ten pretty (G sharp minor) women
There's a (B major) shoulder
where (D sharp minor) Death comes to (G sharp minor) cry
There's a (E major) lobby with nine hundred (F sharp major) windows
There's a (E major) tree
where the doves go to (B major) die (D sharp major)
There's a (G sharp minor) piece
that was torn from the morning
And it (C sharp minor) hangs in the (G sharp major) Gallery of (C sharp minor) Frost

(E major) Aey, aey, aey, (B major) aey
Take this (D sharp major) waltz, take this (G sharp minor) waltz
Take this (C sharp major) waltz with the clamp on its (E major) jaws
(F sharp major) (C sharp major) (F sharp major)

Verse 2
Oh, I (B major) want you, I (D sharp minor) want you,
I (G sharp minor) want you
On a (B major) chair with a dead maga (G sharp minor) zine
In the (E major) cave at the tip of the (F sharp major) lily
In some (E major) hallway
where love's never (B major) been (D sharp major)
On a (G sharp minor) bed
where the moon has been sweating
In a (C sharp minor) cry
filled with (G sharp major) footsteps and (C sharp minor) sand
Chorus 2
(E major) Aey, aey, aey, (B major) aey
Take this (D sharp major) waltz, take this (G sharp major) waltz
Take its (C sharp minor) broken waist in your (C sharp major) hand
(E major) (D sharp major) (G sharp minor) (D sharp major)
Bridge 1
This (G sharp minor) waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its (C sharp minor) very own breath of (G sharp minor) brandy and death
(E minor) Dragging its tail in the (B major) sea (F sharp major)
Verse 3
There's a (B major) concert hall in Vi (G sharp minor) enna
Where your (B major) mouth had a (D sharp minor) thousand reviews (G sharp minor)
There's a (E major) bar
where the boys have stopped (F sharp major) talking
They've been (E major) sentenced to death
by the (B major) blues (D sharp major)
Ah, but (G sharp minor) who is it
climbs to your picture
With a (C sharp minor) garland of (G sharp major) freshly cut (C sharp minor) tears?
Chorus 3
(E major) Aey, aey, aey, (B major) aey
Take this (D sharp major) waltz, take this (G sharp minor) waltz
Take this (C sharp minor) waltz, it's been dying for (E major) years
(B major) (F sharp major)
Verse 4
There's an (B major) attic where (D sharp minor) children are (G sharp minor) playing
Where I've (B major) got to lie down with you (G sharp minor) soon
In a (E major) dream of Hungarian (F sharp major) lanterns
In the (E major) mist
of some sweet after (B major) noon (D sharp major)
And I'll (G sharp minor) see what
you've chained to your sorrow
All your (C sharp minor) sheep and your (G sharp major) lilies of (C sharp minor) snow
Chorus 4
(E major) Aey, aey, aey, (B major) aey
Take this (D sharp major) waltz, take this (G sharp major) waltz
With its "I'll (C sharp minor) never forget you, you know" (C sharp major)
(E major) (D sharp major) (G sharp minor) (D sharp major)
Bridge 2
This (G sharp minor) waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its (C sharp minor) very own breath of (G sharp minor) brandy and death
(E minor) Dragging its tail in the (B major) sea (F sharp major)
Verse 5
And I'll (B major) dance with you in Vi (G sharp minor) enna
I'll be (B major) wearing a (D sharp minor) river's dis (G sharp minor) guise
The (E major) hyacinth wild on my (F sharp major) shoulder
My mouth (E major) on the dew of your (B major) thighs (F sharp major)
And I'll (B major) bury my soul
in a scrap (G sharp minor) book
With the pho (B major) tographs there, (D sharp minor)
and the moss (G sharp minor)
And I'll yield (E major) to the flood of your (F sharp major) beauty
My (E major) cheap violin and my (B major) cross (D sharp major)
And you'll (G sharp minor) carry me down
on your dancing
To the (C sharp minor) pools that you (G sharp major) lift on your (C sharp minor) wrist
Chorus 5
Oh my love, (E major) oh my (B major) love
Take this (D sharp major) waltz, take this (G sharp minor) waltz
It's yours (C sharp minor) now, it's all that there (E major) is (B major) (F sharp major)
