Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women

There's a shoulder where death comes to cry

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

Ay, ay, ay, ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Oh, I want you, I want you, I want you

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

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take its broken waist in your hand

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
              Am          Am           Em             Em
With its very own breath of brandy and death
Am7           Am7            G   G
Dragging its tail in the sea

There's a concert hall in Vienna

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

Where I've got to lie down with you soon

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!"
