Verse 1
G G Em Em
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
G Bm Em Em
There's a shoulder where death comes to cry
C C D D
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
C C *Bm *Am G B7
There's a tree where the doves go to die
Em Em Em Em
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
Am E7 Am Am *G
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
C C *G *Am G G
Ay, ay, ay, ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Verse 2
G Bm Em Em
Oh, I want you, I want you, I want you
G G Em Em
On a chair with a dead magazine
C C D D
In the cave at the tip of the lily
C C *Bm *Am G B7
In some hallways where love's ne-ver been
Em Em Em Em
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
Am E7 Am Am *G
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
C C *G *Am G G
Ay, ay, ay, ay
B7 B7 E7 E7
Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take its broken waist in your hand

With its very own breath of brandy and death
Am7 Am7 G G
Dragging its tail in the sea

Verse 3
G G Em Em
There's a concert hall in Vienna
G Bm Em Em
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
C C D D
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
C C *Bm *Am G B7
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Em Em Em Em
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
Am E7 Am Am *G
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
C C *G *Am G G
Ay, ay, ay, ay

Take this waltz, it's been dying for years

Verse 4
G Bm Em Em
There's an attic where children are playing
G G Em Em
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
C C D D
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
C C *Bm *Am G B7
In the mist of some sweet af-ter-noon
Em Em Em Em
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
Am E7 Am Am *G
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
C C *G *Am G G
Ay, ay, ay, ay
B7 B7 E7 E7
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Am7 Am7 C C
With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"

Verse 5
G G Em Em
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
G Bm Em Em
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
C C D D
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
C C *Bm *Am G G
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
G G Em Em
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
G Bm Em Em
With the photographs there and the moss
C C D D
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
C C *Bm *Am G B7
My cheap violin and my cross
Em Em Em Em
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
Am E7 Am Am
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
*G C C *G *Am G G
Oh, my love, oh, my love
B7 B7 Em Em
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Am Am C C
It's yours now, it's all that there is
G G D D
