D     D/F#  G
Fetch me a  glass

      Em           A      D    A
Let's fill it with fine romance

D     D/F#    G
Pour slow the wine

Em            A         D
Then let your eyes kiss mine

A                 D        D/F#
You, you with the charming eyes

G           D/F#         Em7     A7
Lately I've found myself truly beguiled

   D         D/F#        G         A
If this is a waltz, then I can't refuse

   Em           A        D   Dsus4   D   Dsus2
To dance with a man like you
[Verse 2]
D   D/F#    G
She must be fine

    Em        A          D    A
She must be enchantingly kind

    D   D/F#    G
And she must be fair

    Em      A             D
And never reveal that she cares

A                      D       D/F#
Then, then when you've got her heart

 G        D/F#           Em7          A7
Spin her around till she begs you to stop

    D         D/F#         G      A
But this is a waltz and no lady refuses

   Em           A        D   Dsus4   D   Dsus2
To dance with a man like you
[Bridge]
    Am       Am/G       F
And if she inquires the meaning of love

       Em                       E
You'll silence her words with a glance

    Am       Am/G     F
And if she desires to wonder and pause

       Em                   A
You'll charmingly ask her to dance
[Fiddle solo] | D | D/F# | G | G | | Em | A | D | A | | D | D/F# | G | G | | Em | A | D | D/B | D/A | A7 | [Verse 3]
D   D/F#     G
You promised me

     Em          A        D    A
That you would forever be kind

    D  D/F#     G
And if meant to be

    Em              A          D
Our love would find comfort in time

A                 D       D/F#
Now, now that you feel no more

G           D/F#       Em7        A7
How could I follow you out to the floor

    D            D/F#        G         A
And now it's the waltz but I have to refuse

   Em           A        D    A
To dance with a man like you

    D            D/F#             G            A
But this is your waltz and you'll find someone new

   Em           A
To dance with a man

   Em           A
To dance with a man like you
