Verse:
They were [G]playing that [D]old country [G]waltz[G7]
In this [C]empty bar [Em]echoing off the [Am]wall,[Am]
When I [C]first got the [Em]bad news that [D]you set me [C12]free,
The [G]band played the [D]old country [C]wa[C/B]ltz [C/A]to [G]me.
Verse:
G (rest) D (rest) G G7
Well, I loved, and I lost, and I cried,
The day that the two of us died,
Ain't got no excuses, I just want to ride,
While the band plays the old country waltz.
Instrumental (as intro):
Bridge:
Out the [C]window the [C]moon shines
On the [G]roofs of the [G7]cars,
While I [C]knock down [C]tequila and [G]sa-[D]lt,
And the [G]band plays the [D]old country [C]wa[C/B]ltz.[C/A][G]
Verse:
G (rest) D (rest) G G7
And we're playing it, that old country waltz,
In this empty bar echoing off the wall,
Ain't got no excuses, we just want to play
That good old country waltz,
I ain't got no excuses, I just want to play
That good old country waltz,
That [G]good old [D]country [Em]waltz[C].[G]
