[Verse 1]
B G#m
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
B D#m/A# G#m
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
E F#
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
E E D#m C#m B D#7/A#
There's a tree where the doves go to die
G#m
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# |
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
E B/D# C#m B
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/G G#m
Take this waltz, take this waltz
C#/F E . . |. . . |
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
F# . . |G#m . . |F#/A# . . |F# . . |
[Verse 2]
B D#m/A# G#m
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
B G#m
On a chair with a dead magazine
E F#
In the cave at the tip of the lily
E E D#m C#m B D#7/A#
In some hallways where love's never been
G#m
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# |
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
E B/D# C#m B
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/G G#7/F#
Take this waltz, take this waltz
E6 Fm7-5 . . |. . . |
Take its broken waist in your hand
Edim . . |Gdim . . |G#m . . |D# . . |
[Chorus]
G#m
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
C#m G#m
With its very own breath of brandy and Death
E6 B . . |. . . |F#sus4 . . |F# . . |
Dragging its tail in the sea
[Verse 3]
B G#m
There's a concert hall in Vienna
B D#m/A# G#m
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
E F#
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
E E D#m C#m B D#7/A#
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
G#m
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# |
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
E B/D# C#m B
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/G G#m
Take this waltz, take this waltz
C#m E . . |. . . |
Take this waltz it's been dying for years
B . . |. . . |F# . . |. . . |
[Verse 4]
B D#m/A# G#m
There's an attic where children are playing
B G#m
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
E F#
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
E E D#m C#m B D#7/A#
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
G#m
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# |
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
E B/D# C#m B
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
D#7/G G#7/F#
Take this waltz, take this waltz
E6 Fm7-5 . . |. . . |
With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"
Edim . . |Gdim . . |G#m . . |D# . . |
[Chorus]
G#m
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
C#m G#m
With its very own breath of brandy and Death
E6 B . . |. . . |F#sus4 . . |F# . . |
Dragging its tail in the sea
[Verse 5]
B G#m
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
B D#m/A# G#m
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
E F#
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
E E D#m C#m B
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
B G#m
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
B D#m/A# G#m
With the photographs there, and the moss
E F#
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
E E D#m C#m B D#7/A#
My cheap violin and my cross
G#m
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
C#m G#7 C#m
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
C#m B/D# E B/D# C#m B
Oh my love, Oh my love
D#7/G G#m
Take this waltz, take this waltz
C#m E . . |. . . |
It's yours now, it's all that there is
B . . |. . . |F# . . |. . . |
