John Hartford - The Annual Waltz Chords

"
Banjo tuned (E), Capo 3  Key of (D) 3/4 time

     (D)
The night is so cold and life is so old
                               (G)    (D)
And the wind is now heavy with day dreams
      (A)
And I hold your hand to the music
                            (G)    (D)
And think of the days of our youth

                         
Every year at this time, when our feet so inclined
                               (G)    (D)
And we hear those old musical memories
     (A)                 
We slip thru this dance
                                 (G)           (D)
Like the first time we started in falling in love

Chorus:

   (D)  (A)  (D)            (G)    (D)    (A)
This we do, and I am still with you
         (D)               
And the heart beat still calls

For the annual waltz
          (G)                (A)          (D)
It is our theme song for falling in love

Fiddle Solo
       (D)
Oh I laughed at you, you laughed at me
                                    (G)    (D)
While our grandchildrens'children have babies
          (A)                            
Way off in the future, we're long gone
                   (G)            (D)
But someone still mentions our name

      (D)                                     
Old pictures in books, small shady nooks
                             (G)   (D)
Where descendants can learn all about us
         (A)                           
But the dancing goes on to the fiddle
                        (G)       (D)
As they still play the Annual Waltz


   (D)  (A)  (D)            (G)    (D)    (A)
This we do, and I am still with you
         (D)               
And the heart beat still calls

For the annual waltz
          (G)                (A)          (D)
It is our theme song for falling in love
