I'VE HAD A BEAUTIFUL TIME

(Beginning lead starts in the Key of E, then to A)
(A)We met downtown in the barroom,
Both of us needing a(E)friend,
You brought me home to your doorstep,
It was there you invited me(A)in,
(A)We spent the wee hours dancing,
To your favorite home stereo(E)sounds,
We talked about what we been needin',
Discussin' our ups and our(A)downs,
(A)And I've had a beautiful time,
Holding your heart next to(E) mine,
I poured out the feelings while you poured the wine,
And I've had a beautiful(A)time.
(LEAD)
(A)If I seem a wee bit uneasy,
You really sized me up(E) right,
There's somebody home still up waiting,
She probably been waiting up all(A) night.
(A)I can't say I found any answers,
But you listen while I ride(E) alone,
And you little beautiful lady,
And you kept me from being(A)alone.
(A)And I've had a beautiful time,
Holding your body next to(E) mine,
You poured out your feelings and I poured the wine,
And I've had a beautiful(A) time.
(A)I've had a beautiful time,
Holding your heart next to(E)mine,
We poured out the feelings then we poured the wine,
And I've had a beautiful(A) time.
(E)You poured out your feelings while we poured the wine,
And I've had a beautiful(A) time.
