Delta Queen Waltz
Capo:no capo
Banjo Tuned E, Key D Capo 1
D A D A
Oh we boarded the boat on the breast of the river so wide
D G D
And we left old St. Louis on the crest of that brown muddy tide
A D
To the strains of the Delta Queen's band
A D D
I found myself holding your hand
A D A
The way we had hoped we would do all that summer and fall
D A D A
Oh the whistle came out, such a deep mellow sound in the night
D G D
And the echo came back from the shoreline of twinkling lights
A D
There was nothing we really could say
A D
The river had swept us away
A D A
Like a present hereafter, the warm sound of laughter
A D
As we danced to the Delta Queen Waltz
[Instrumental]
A D A D
As the big wheel keeps rolling I find myself holding you near
D G D
With the night time unfolding I'm lucky just having you here
A D G
As a single wave curls down the shore, we're waltzing away cross the
D
floor
A D
As our heart beats assemble, the boat lightly trembles
A D
As we dance to the Delta Queen Waltz
