Dancer With Bruised Knees by Kate & Anna McGarrigle
Dancer With Bruised Knees
Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
Am Dm Am Dm G C G
[Verse 1] (spoken - male voice)
C F Am
When I first knew her she was a dancer
Dm C
I saw her leap, confidently, knowing, that should she fall
G Ebm E7 F
It would be into the arms of her very own partner
Dm G
She never failed to get a curtain call
[Chorus]
Am G
For years we had been one with the stars
Am G
A Pas de Deux of renown
F G C G/B Am
I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly
Dm G
And gently he’d put me down
[Verse 2]
C G C F
The heights that I reached were dangerous
Am Dm
And I saw my partner strain
C G Ebm E7
And felt when I had landed
F Dm G
His strength was on the wane
[Bridge]
F Em
Back before my knees were blue
C Gm B7 E
Backs broke bending in a step for two
[Chorus]
Am G
For years we had been one with the stars
Am G
A Pas de Deux of renown
F G C G/B Am
I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly
Dm C
But once I came crashing down
[Verse 3]
G C F
Now I’m a weaver
Am Dm
Wall-hangings, if you please
C G Ebm E7
In everyone I feature
F Dm G
A dancer with bruised knees
[Chorus]
Am G
For years we had been one with the stars
Am G
A Pas de Deux of renown
F G C G/B Am
I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly
Dm C
But once I came crashing down
[Outro]
Am Dm G
Doop, doop, doop
Am C G
Doop, doop, doop
Am Dm G
Doop, doop, doop
Am C G
Doop, doop, doop
Am Dm G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
Am C G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
Am Dm G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
Am C G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
