Leon Redbone - Bittersweet Waltz Chords

[Intro]
C         G7        C  G7
La da  da da da  da da
 
 
[Verse 1]
C             G7          C  F
Some say that life's an illusion
C                G7              C    G7
Who knows what's false or what's true
    E7         Am
The distant horizon
    E7           F
Can be quiet surprisin'
     D7                     G7
When finally the journey is through
 
 
[Chorus]
     C          C7
With all of its glories,
    F          Fm
And all of its faults,
         C         G7          C      G7
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz
 
 
[Verse 2]
C            G7            C  F
Some say the grass is much greener
C            G7       C    G7
Once you get over the fence
   E7            Am
If that's your objective,
  E7          F
Beware of perspective,
   D7                         G7
Conclusions don't always make sense
 
 
[Chorus]
     C          C7
With all of its glories,
    F          Fm
And all of its faults,
         C         G7          C      G7
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz
 
 
[Instrumental]
C  G7  C  F
C  G7  C  G7
E7 Am  E7 F
D7     G7
C  C7  F  Fm
C  G7  C  G7
 
 
[Verse 3]
C         G7               C  F
You never know what you're holding
C             G7        C    G7
Til it starts slipping away
E7           Am
Your best protection
   E7          F
Is show some affection
   D7                        G7
To those who are with you today
 
 
[Chorus]
     C          C7
With all of its glories,
    F          Fm
And all of its faults,
         C         G7          C      G7
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz
 
 
[Outro]
     C          C7
With all of its glories,
    F          Fm
And all of its faults,
         C         G7 N.C.     C
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz
