As recorded by Willie Nelson (From the 2022 Album A BEAUTIFUL TIME) [Intro] C [Verse 1]

C
My heart was a dancer

F                              C
No, you don't need to know her name

C
She could turn right on a nickel

                                G
And give you back four cents in change

   C
My heart was a dancer

F                          C
She made her livin' on her toes

C
And what she ever saw in me

G                   C
Only God and Heaven knows

[Chorus]

          F
I used to sit at my table

                         C
Just me and whiskey all alone

G
Watchin' my heart dance

                                    C
And each night, I'd try to take her home

F
Others would try to show my heart

                C
A better way to feel

C
My heart was a dancer

G                               C
Oh, heart, please just don't bе still

[Guitar Solo] C F C G7 C [Verse 2]

C
My heart was a dancer

F                           C
I'd love to see hеr dancin' now

C
Pretty and graceful

                              G
Still beatin' just for me somehow

   C
My heart was a dancer

F                 C
Another lifetime ago

C
She was real for me

    G                                 C
But for the others, it was all just a show

[Out-Chorus]

          F
I used to sit at my table

                         C
Just me and whiskey all alone

G
Watchin' my heart dance

                                    C
And each night, I'd try to take her home

F
Others would try to show my heart

                C
A better way to feel

C
My heart was a dancer

G                          C
Oh, heart, please don't be still

C
My heart was a dancer

G                          C
Oh, heart, please don't be still
