Intro: D Bm G A, D Bm G A G D
DThe first of the month BmBrings back the notion GOf a big round white dance hall and a cool summer Anight
DRed cherry faces Bmset black shoes in motion GTo the oom pa pa rhythm of a German Adelight
Chorus:
BmAnd I tried hard to tell you AI was no kinda dancer Bm'Took my hand to Gprove I was wrong
DYou guided me gently BmThough I thought I could never GWe were dancing Atogether at the Gend of the Dsong
A taught little bald man Like a German war hero With buxom matrons to a quick John Paul Jones Drapes of crepe paper A ball made of mirror Cast shiny reflections on a brass slide trombone Chorus A man was still dancing With his phantom partner Though the band had quit playing At the evening's end And it made me feel lucky that I had a partner to teach me the dance steps And come back again Chorus x2
