Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
BD#m/A#G#m
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
EF#
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
EED#mC#mBD#7/A#
There's a tree where the doves go to die
G#m
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
C#mG#7C#mB/D#
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
EB/D#C#mB
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/GG#m
Take this waltz, take this waltz
C#/FE
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
FGFF#A#BD#m/A#G#m
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
BG#m
On a chair with a dead magazine
EF#
In the cave at the tip of the lily
EED#mC#mBD#7/A#
In some hallways where love's never been
G#m
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
C#mG#7C#mB/D#
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
EB/D#C#mB
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/GG#7/F#
Take this waltz, take this waltz
E6Fm7-5
Take its broken waist in your hand
EGGD#G#m
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
C#mG#m
With its very own breath of brandy and Death
E6BF#sus4
Dragging its tail in the sea
BG#m
There's a concert hall in Vienna
BD#m/A#G#m
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
EF#
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
EED#mC#mBD#7/A#
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
G#m
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
C#mG#7C#mB/D#
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
EB/D#C#mB
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/GG#m
Take this waltz, take this waltz
C#mE
Take this waltz it's been dying for years
BF#BD#m/A#G#m
There's an attic where children are playing
BG#m
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
EF#
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
EED#mC#mBD#7/A#
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
G#m
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
C#mG#7C#B/D#
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
EB/D#C#mB
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/GG#7/F#
Take this waltz, take this waltz
E6Fm7-5
With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"
EGGD#G#m
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
C#mG#m
With its very own breath of brandy and Death
E6BF#sus4
Dragging its tail in the sea
BG#m
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
BD#m/A#G#m
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
EF#
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
EED#mC#mB
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
BG#m
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
BD#m/A#G#m
With the photographs there, and the moss
EF#
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
EED#mC#mBD#7/A#
My cheap violin and my cross
G#m
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
C#mG#7C#m
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
C#mB/D#EB/D#C#mB
Oh my love, Oh my love
D#7/GG#m
Take this waltz, take this waltz
C#mE
It's yours now, it's all that there is
BF#BG#m
La, la, la La, la, la
BD#m/G#m
La, la, la La, la, la
EF#
La, la, la La, la, la
EED#mC#BD#7/A#
La, la, la La, la, la
