C 
F

she went to find a jolly hour on a trolley
Am 
D 
and found my heart instead.
G 
C 
Gsus4 
With my light brown derby
and my bright green tie,
C 
G 
I was quite the lonesomest of men.
F

Eaug 
C 
and when she smiled
G 
C 
G 
I could feel the car shake.
C 
G 
I  tipped my hat and took a seat,
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet.

that it scared me half to death.

Buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Gsus4 
C 
Gsus4 
plop,    plop, plop went the wheels.
F 
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings
G 
as she started to leave.
I took hold of her sleeve with my hand,
B 
D 
G 
and as if it were planned,
C 
A 
She stayed on with me
G 
F 
and it was grand just to stand
Am 
With her hand holding mine
D 
Gsus4 
G 
C 
to the      end of the line
Em

I   took my hat and took a seat
I said I hoped I hadn't

Em 
I asked her name then lost my breath
C 
Em 
She was so lovely
C 
that it scared me after death
Buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
F 
plop, plop went the wheels,
C 
F 
Stopped when my heart stings,
C 
and she started to leave,
Em 
I took hold of her sleeve with my hand,
C 
G 
And as if it were planned,
C 
A 
Dm 
she stayed on with me,

And it was grand just

to the end of the line,

to the end of the line,
C 
to the end of the line.
