[Intro] Bm E7 G A D [Verse 1]
Bm                       A
Bob Wills is playing the old London hall

    G              A            Bm
The whole town was out in their best

          Bm                     A
There's a boy called Caballo, he sported a plow

        G           A                       D
Fell in love with a girl in the blue cotton dress

         Bm                           A
Now they weren’t much on dancing that grand ballroom style

         G                   A              Bm
But they shuffled across the dance floor in time

              Bm                            A
She said I’ve nothing to offer he said I’ve nothing to take from you

  G             A                             D
Except for your heart if you’ll say you’ll be mine
[Chorus]
Bm                           E7
Young lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn

A                                D
Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone

       Bm                         E7
It’s a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh

       G            A                           D
It’s a turn for the waltzers who can’t say goodbye
[Verse 2]
       Bm                  A
It was biscuits and gravy, sweat on the ground

G          A           Bm
Harvesting late in the eve

       Bm                               A
And he lay with his blue girl when they lost their first child

G           A                    D
Holding her to him away in their dreams
[Chorus]
Bm                           E7
Young lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn

A                                D
Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone

       Bm                         E7
It’s a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh

       G            A                           D
It’s a turn for the waltzers who can’t say goodbye
[Solo] Bm E7 A D Bm E7 G A D [Verse 3]
    Bm                      E7
The shadows grew longer the porch swing turned gray

    A                        D
The sunlight gave way to the moon

         Bm              E7
And that ben old Caballo rocking away

G           A                          D
Hums to his blue girl an old Bob Wills tune
[Chorus]
   Bm                           E7
Of young lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn

A                                D
Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone

       Bm                         E7
It’s a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh

       G            A                           D
It’s a turn for the waltzers who can’t say goodbye

       G            A                           D
It’s a turn for the waltzers who can’t say goodbye
