Hank Snow – The Star Spangled Waltz (Guitar)

D                           G
The band it was playing the Star Spangled Waltz

    A7                          D
The lights in the ballroom were low

D                          G
Oh twas sweet to my ears I fought back my tears

         D              A7         D
For that waltz broke my heart long ago

   G                            D
My sweetheart grew jealous as I danced with a friend

    E7                          A7
And said that my love had grown false

         D                          G
Then she told me goodbye neath that old southern sky

      D             A7            D
As we danced to the Star Spangled Waltz

D                                G
Then a face caught my eye as the dancers passed by

   A7                               D
It was my sweetheart who left me to pine

                                 G
As she whispered my name I could see oh so plain

         D            A7          D
That her heart it was broken like mine

         G                       D
Love had won its last fight as I kissed her that night

   E7                     A7
As I did in the days long ago

       D                           G
We had found new romance though we cried as we danced

       D         A7            D     G
To the beautiful Star Spangled Waltz

       D         A7            D
To the beautiful Star Spangled Waltz
