The Annual Waltz
by John Hartford
from YouTube Video
Transcribed by: Verne Garrison
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3 Key of D 3/4 time
The nDight is so cold and life is so old
And the wind is now heavy with Gday dDreams
And I Ahold your hand to the music
And we think of the days of Gour yDouth
Every year at this time, our feet feel so inclined
And we hear those old musical mGemoriDes
We slAip thru this dance
Like the first time we started faGlling in lovDe
[Chorus]
ThiDs wAe dDo, and I am sGtill Dwith Ayou
And the hDeart beat still calls
For the annual waltz
It is our Gtheme song for faAlling in loDve
[Fiddle Solo]
Oh I laDughed at you, you laughed at me
While our grandchildrens'children hGave bDabies
Way off inA the future, we are long gone
And someone still mGentions our nDames
Old piDctures, in books, small shady nooks
Where our descendants learn aGll aDbout us
And the dAancing goes on to the fiddle
As they still play the AGnnual WaDltz
[Fiddle Solo]
[Chorus]
This we do, and I am still with you.
