John Hartford - Delta queen waltz

Oh ^Dwe boarded the ^Aboat on the b^Dreast of the river so^A wide And we left old St.^D Louis on the cres^Gt of that brown muddy ^Dtide To the strains of the ^ADelta Queen's ^Dband I fo^Aund myself ho^Dlding your h^Dand The way we had h^Aoped we would do^D all that summer and ^Afall

Oh t^Dhe whistle cam^Ae out, such a ^Ddeep mellow sound in the ^Anight And the echo came^D back from the shorel^Gine of twinkling ^Dlights There was noth^Aing we really could^D say Th^Ae river had ^Dswept us away Like a p^Aresent hereafter, the warm ^Dsound of ^Alaughter As we danced to the^A Delta Queen ^DWaltz

As the big w^Aheel keeps rollin^Dg I find mys^Aelf holding ^Dyou near With the night time^D unfolding I'm lucky^G just having you ^Dhere As a single wave ^Acurls down the ^Dshore, we're waltzin^Gg away cross the f^Dloor As our heart bea^Ats assemble, the boat lightly t^Drembles As we dance to t^Ahe Delta Queen W^Daltz
