G D G G7 They were playing that old country waltz C Em Am In this empty bar echoing off the wall, C Em D C When I first got the bad news that you set me free, G D C G The band played the old country waltz to me. 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 C Out the window the moon shines G G7 On the roofs of the cars, C G D While I knock down tequila and salt, G D C G And the band plays the old country waltz.
