Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]With her high -starched collar
and her high -topped shoes
And her hair piled high upon her [C]head
She [Dm]went to find a [G]jolly hour
on the [Am]trolley
And she [Ebdim]found my heart ins[D]tead
[G]With my light brown derby
and my bright green tie
I was [C]quite the [B]lonesomest of [Em]men
[Am]I st[D]arted to[Dsus4] yin,
so I counted [G]to [D]ten,
then I [G]counted to [D]ten [G]again.[C][G][C]
[F]Cla[C]ng, clang, clang wen[G]t the tro[C]lley.
[G]Din[C]g, ding,
ding went the [D]bell.[Dsus4][G]
[Am]Zing, [C]zing, zing went my heart [Am]strings,
[C]for the moment I saw her I [G]fell.[C][G][F]
[C]Chug, chug, chug [F]went the [G]motor, [C]bump, bump, bump wen[Am]t the bra[Dm]ke,
[G]thump, [Am]thump[C], thump went my heart strings.
When [G]she smiled
I could [C]feel the [G]car [C]shake.[Ebdim][Dm]
I tipped my hat, [G]I took a s[C]eat,
I [G]said I [Dm]hoped I [G]hadn't
stepped upon her [C]feet.
Say, what's your name?
[F#dim]I lost my[B] breath.[Em]
[C]She looked so [A]lovely
that it scared me half to [D]death.
Oh!
[G]Oh, buz[C]z, buzz, buzz with the mother.
Plop, [Am]plop, plop with the [D]wheels.[Dm][G]
Stop, [Am]stop, stop with my [C]heartstrings.
As she started to [Dm]go,
then [Em]I started [C]to [Fm]know how it [A]feels
[Dm]when the [G]universe [C]squeals.[G][C]
I tipped my [Dm]hat. [G]I took a s[C]eat.
[Ab]I said I hoped I had[Absus4]n't
[Ab]stepped upon her feet.
I [Db]asked her [Fm]name, [Bb]then lost my breath
[Fm]She [Bb]looked so lovely
[A]that it scared me half to [D]death
[G]Oh, [C]but, but, but, went the buzzer
[Db]La, la, la, went the d[Ebsus4]rill[Ab][D]
[A]Stop, [D]sto[G]p, stop,
[D]went my [G]heart's scream
[D]As she started to [G]leave,
[A]I took hold o[D]f her sleeve
[G]Wit[D]h my han[G]d,
[D]and[Abdim] as if it[Db] were plan[A]ned
[Cb]She stayed on with me,
and [G]it was [A]grand
[D]Just to [G]stand with a hand holding mine
[Cb]To t[Abdim]he end of the [G]line[A][D][G]
End [A]of the [D]line[Cb]
[Abdim]The end of th[D]e line
