AT THE BALALAIKA - NELSON EDDY
Bm Em
When the melancholy shadows fall
F# D F#
My heart is melancholy too
Bm Em
Then I hear the Balalaika's call
F# Bm - B
And life is gay and bright and new
[Chorus]
D
At the Balalaika
A
Where there is magic in the sparkling wine
Em E
And mellow music in the candles' shine
A D
I have a rendezvous!
D
At the Balalaika
A
Who knows what ecstasy tonight may bring
E
What lovely melody my heart may sing
A D
Before the night is through
G Em A D
I hear a violin, a haunting gypsy violin
E Bb
And when it sighs its strangely tender song
A
I know that I belong
[Chorus]
D
At the Balalaika
A
Oh let me linger there till break of day
Em E
Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
A D
I have a rendezvous!
