SLOW COUNTRY DANCE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter) ------------------------------------------ [Actually in A; capo at the 2nd fret.]
CDGG [intro] GCGD Out on the floor the couples are swaying GCGD To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight Em7CGD You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing GCDG A slow country dance on a Saturday night
GCGD Sweethearts in love and others just lonely GCGD Searching for someone to waltz with tonight Em7CGD In a smoky old bar you know that it's only GCDGG A slow country dance on a Saturday night
FCGD And love's never easy or ever as true FCGDD When the changing of partners is no longer new GCGD You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes GCDG Dance just to dance in three-quarter time GCDG [instrumental]
Down at the bar a woman tells stories Batting her eyes to someone not there Her glass is half full or maybe half empty Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear
Now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish A much lighter step and a much younger face
And love's never easy or ever as true When the changing of partners is no longer new You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
