Old Country Waltz (chromatic)

OLD COUNTRY WALTZ
By: Neil Young
Key: G
3/4 time

 -1   -1   -4  -4   -4  -3   -4  -4    3
They were play-ing that old coun-try waltz
3   3   6   6   6  -5 -5 -5   6  -5  -5 5
In this em-pty bar ec-ho-in' off the wall.
  6  6   6    6  -5  -5   -4
When I first got the bad news
 -3  -4  -4  -4   3
that you set me free,
-3   -3    -4   -4
The band played the
-3   -4  -4    3   2  3
old coun-try waltz to me.


Well, I loved,
and I lost, and I cried
The day that the two of us died.
Ain't got no excuses,
I just want to ride
While the band plays the old country waltz.

 3   3   4   4  -5    6     6
Out the win-dow the moon shines
6  -5    -5  -5 -5   -4
On the roofs of the cars
  -3  3    4      4   
While I knocked down 
-5  6   6  6   -5  -4 -3
te-quil-a and salt oh oh
 3  -3   -3    -4  -4  -3   -4  -4    3
And the band plays the old coun-try waltz.

And we're playin' it,
that old country waltz
In this empty bar
echoin' off the wall.
Ain't got no excuses,
we just want to play
That good old country waltz.

-4  -5   6  6  6  -5  -4
I ain't got no ex-cus-es,
-3 -4   -4  -4  3
I just want to play
 3    -3  -4   -4  -4    3
That good old coun-try waltz.
 3    -3  -4   -4  -4   3 7
That good old coun-try waltz.
