Emmylou Harris   Like An Old Fashioned Waltz  written by  Sandy Denny


Bill Payne   piano/synthesizer
Jim Horn     recorder
Brian Ahern  bass


Eb        Ab                Eb 
Roses are red  violets are blue
          Ab                     Eb 
Primroses pale on a velvet green hue
            Fm                  Cm
Warm summer days by cool waterfalls
               Bb
Like  music we hear
       Ab          Eb           Bb
Those things we'll always hold dear
        Cm  Ab        Eb
Like an old fashioned waltz
Eb                        Ab
When the moonlight shines down
                 Eb
On the Hollywood world
                Ab                    Eb
And the heroine waits for her love to return
                Fm                       Cm
And the violins play from behind garden walls
           Bb      Ab              Eb     Fm                     
Oh how I'd love to remain with the silver refrain
      Cm  Ab        Eb
Of an old fashioned waltz

SOLO

Eb                        Ab        
And they dance round the floor
                        Eb
And there's no-one else there
                    Ab                       Eb
And the world is no more and there's never a care
                Fm                       Cm
By the perfect lagoon as the nightingale calls
              Bb   Ab      Eb         Fm
With only the moon and the nostalgic tune
      Cm  Ab        Eb  
Of an old fashioned waltz
