Verse:

They were playing that old country waltz

            C                E                      Am
In this empty bar echoing off the wall,

            C                  Em                   D               C12
When I first got the bad news that you set me free,

        G                        D                C C/B C/A G
The band played the old country waltz to me.

Verse:
            G                 D              G     G7
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.

Instrumental (intro):

Bridge:
             C                  C
Out the window the moon shines

            G                   G7
On the roofs of the cars,

            C                   C               G    D
While I knock down tequila and sa-lt,

              G                      D                 C C/B C/A G
And the band plays the old country waltz.

Verse:
                 G                      D                G     G7
And we're playing it, that old country waltz,
In this empty bar echoing off the wall,
Ain't got no excuses, we just want to play
That good old country waltz,

I ain't got no excuses, I just want to play
That good old country waltz,

         G              D          Em   C   G
That good old country waltz.
