G
Benjamin Button in the dancin' hall

                               Em
On the night of the Portsmouth navy ball

                       D
Benjamin stands at the crowded bar
N.C. "I'm off to France, mate"
     C
Au revoir

    D
And we're all singin':

Em      D  G    C    G    D       G
"Oh, my darlin' come back home to me"
[Verse 2]
   G
As Benjamin's otherwise occupied

                         Em
The doors of the dancin' hall swings wide

     D
And steppin' into the ball unseen

G           C
Entеr Miss Elowen Keene

    D
And we'rе all singin':

Em      D  G    C    G    D       G
"Oh, my darlin' come back home to me"
[Chorus]
        C               G
Well I'm shippin' out tomorrow

    D             Em
I'm headed out my way

        C               G         D
Well I'm shippin' out tomorrow, woah

      C               G
If I'm shippin' out tomorrow

       D                Em
Well before the mornin' light

       C                D         G
Then we better make the most of tonight
[Verse 3]
 G
Elowen Keene sees Benjamin

                         Em
And Benjamin Button sees Elowen

                    D
Across that hall of dancin' feet

    G                    C
Two star-crossed lovers' eyes do meet

    D
And we're all singin'

Em      D  G    C    G    D       G
"Oh, my darlin' come back home to me"

Em      D  G    C    G    D       G
"Oh, my darlin' come back home to me"

Em      D  G    C    G    D
"Oh, my darlin' come back home to me"
[Bridge]
F
Wonderin' if, could it be?

    G
She makes her move, "Would you dance with me?"

F
Benjamin says "I never could dance"

 G
Elowen says "Well, now's your chance"

    G
"It really ain't that hard to do"

    Em
"Oh no, I'll just embarrass you"

       G
Then a thought pops into Elowen's head
N.C. Alright, I've got an idea [Intrsumental] D A E F#m D A E D A E F#m D A E F#m E A D A E [Verse 4]
G
Out of the doors and headin' down

                  Em
Into the night of Portsea town

                            D
Where all the sounds of the night are heard

                        C
From a lover's cry to a whispered word

    D
And we're all singin':

 Em     D  G    C    G    D
"Oh, my darlin' come back home"
[Verse 5]
G
Elowen Keene takes Benjamin's hand

                          Em
And leads him down to the old bandstand

                                   D
Where they danced their steps to a silent tune

                            C
Beside the sea, beneath the moon
C C D C D C D [Verse 6]
G
Time can heal and time can fly

                  Em
And time can even pass us by

                  D
Sometimes we have time to kill

                   C
But in this moment time stands still
[Chorus]
        C               G
Well I'm shippin' out tomorrow

    D             Em
I'm headed out my way (Headed out my way)

        C               G         D
Well I'm shippin' out tomorrow, woah

      C               G
If I'm shippin' out tomorrow

       D                Em
Well before the mornin' light

       C                D
Then we better make the most (It's all just a matter of time)

     C                D
So we better make the most

     C                D               G
So we better make the most of tonight
