Capo 3
We [G]went out one evenin', my [C]darlin' and [G]I
[C]She seemed so [G]different and [A7]I wondered [D]why
We [G]stopped at a tavern and [C]there I could [G]see
That [C]she loved a[G]nother one [D]better than [G]me[D]
The [G]band was playin' an [C]old fashioned [G]waltz
The [C]dance floor was [G]crowded and [A7]I wasn't [D]long
When [G]up stepped a stranger, I [C]never had [G]seen
[C]He asked my [G]darlin': "Will [D]you dance with [G]me?
Bridge:
[Em]While they were [G]dancin', [C]I sat [G]alone
I [Em]knew I had [G]lost her, the [C]one I [G]loved
[G]Lost to a stranger I [C]never had [G]seen
The [C]waltz they were [G]playin' had [D]ended my [G]dream
