Take This Waltz Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Chorus 1]
[C]Aey, aey, aey, [G]aey
Take this [B]waltz, take this [Em]waltz
Take this [A]waltz with the clamp on its [C]jaws
[D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Oh, I [G]want you, I [Bm]want you,
I [Em]want you
On a [G]chair with a dead maga[Em]zine
In the [C]cave at the tip of the [D]lily
In some [C]hallway
where love's never [G]been[B]
On a [Em]bed
where the moon has been sweating
In a [Am]cry
filled with [E]footsteps and [Am]sand

[Chorus 2]
[C]Aey, aey, aey, [G]aey
Take this [B]waltz, take this [E]waltz
Take its [Am]broken waist in your [A]hand
[C][B][Em][B]

[Bridge 1]
This [Em]waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its [Am]very own breath of [Em]brandy and death
[Cm]Dragging its tail in the [G]sea[D]

[Verse 3]
There's a [G]concert hall in Vi[Em]enna
Where your [G]mouth had a [Bm]thousand re[Em]views
There's a [C]bar
where the boys have stopped [D]talking
They've been [C]sentenced to death
by the [G]blues[B]
Ah, but [Em]who is it
climbs to your picture
With a [Am]garland of [E]freshly cut [Am]tears?

[Chorus 3]
[C]Aey, aey, aey, [G]aey
Take this [B]waltz, take this [Em]waltz
Take this [Am]waltz, it's been dying for [C]years
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
There's an [G]attic where [Bm]children are [Em]playing
Where I've [G]got to lie down with you [Em]soon
In a [C]dream of Hungarian [D]lanterns
In the [C]mist
of some sweet after[G]noon[B]
And I'll [Em]see what
you've chained to your sorrow
All your [Am]sheep and your [E]lilies of [Am]snow

[Chorus 4]
[C]Aey, aey, aey, [G]aey
Take this [B]waltz, take this [E]waltz
With its "I'll [Am]never forget you, you [A]know"
[C][B][Em][B]

[Bridge 2]
This [Em]waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its [Am]very own breath of [Em]brandy and death
[Cm]Dragging its tail in the [G]sea[D]

[Verse 5]
And I'll [G]dance with you in Vi[Em]enna
I'll be [G]wearing a [Bm]river's dis[Em]guise
The [C]hyacinth wild on my [D]shoulder
My [C]mouth on the dew of your [G]thighs[D]
And I'll [G]bury my soul
in a [Em]scrapbook
With the pho[G]tographs [Bm]there,
and the [Em]moss
And I'll [C]yield to the flood of your [D]beauty
My [C]cheap violin and my [G]cross[B]
And you'll [Em]carry me down
on your dancing
To the [Am]pools that you [E]lift on your [Am]wrist

[Chorus 5]
Oh my [C]love, oh my [G]love
Take this [B]waltz, take this [Em]waltz
It's [Am]yours now, it's all that there [C]is[G][D]

[C](La-la-la, [D]la-la-la)
