Kurt Weill - Tango ballad

Macheath: There was a ^Amtime, and now it's all gone ^Dmby When we two ^E7lived together, she and ^AmI The way we ^Amwere, was just the way to ^Dmbe I cared for ^B7her, and she took care of ^E7me And that ^Bm7b5arrange^Ement seemed to ^Bm7b5work perfect^Ely The milkman ^Arang the bell, I got out of bed I opened up her purse, paid him what he ^Dsaid

You understand she was out working all the ^Atime And so we ^Bm7b5lived, me and my little ^Ammouse In that snug ^Amtwo by four where ^E7we kept ^Amhouse

Jenny: That was a ^Amtime, and now it's all gone ^Dmby When we two l^E7ived together, she and ^AmI

But when the ^Amday would bring no job to ^Dmme He'd curse and ^B7say how lazy can you ^E7be I'll let him ^Bm7b5huff and ^Epuff I've ^Bm7b5worked long e^Enough But when he ^Adrank too much, I'd get kinda grim And shout the house down how I stood a clown like ^Dhim

And I would kick him in the teeth, meaning no ^Aharm It was so ^Bm7b5sweet to be his little ^Amspouse In that foul ^Amtwo by four where ^E7we played ^Amhouse

Together: Oh happy ^Amtime and now it's all gone ^Dmby Until we ^E7quit each other, you and ^AmI Jenny: You stayed in ^Ambed all day and don't you ^Dmsmirk Macheath: You know we ^B7said that you'd do all the ^E7work Now sleep's for the ^Bm7b5night they ^E7say It ain't ^Bm7b5bad by ^E7day Jenny: So then I ^Ahad my fill, swore I wouldn't stir Macheath: It looked like soon I would be taking care of ^Dher

You left me flat. Macheath: Well I just ain't the working ^Atype We locked the ^Bm7b5door and each commenced to ^Amroam Goodbye sweet ^Amtwo by four that ^E7we called ^Amhome
