Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
F C G C
[Verse 1]
C
You're eyes are as bright, as they were the first night
G
When we danced to an old fashioned tune
In a dusty old schoolhouse on Saturday nights
C
How we laughed as we waltzed round the room
[Verse 2]
C
You came from the valleys, to the dark city alleys
F
To care for the young and the poor
C
And me a young soldier with medals galore
G C
That I'd won in the African War
[Chorus]
F C
How my heart filled with joy, as the others passed by
F G
By the look in their eyes I well knew
C F
That never before, as we swept round the floor
C G C
Had they seen someone lovely as you
[Verse 3]
C
Your hair shone like gold, a joy to behold
G
Your beauty was known far and wide
There was many a young lad, who'd lay down his life
C
For one moment to be by your side
[Verse 4]
C
But you gave them no glances, you gave them no dances
F
As you gracefully stepped on the floor
C
With me a young soldier with medals galore
G7 C
That I'd won in the African War
[Chorus]
F C
How my heart filled with joy, as the others passed by
F G
By the look in their eyes I well knew
C F
That never before, as we swept round the floor
C G C
Had they seen someone lovely as you
[Break]
F C G C
[Verse 5]
C
When the morning had come, and the dancing all done
G
We would walk in the dawn of the day
I would tell you tall stories, of battles and glories
C
And comrades who fell in the fray
[Verse 6]
C
Now the years come and go, still the love that you show
F
Is as sweet and as warm as before
C
When I a young soldier with medals galore
G C
Came home from the African War
[Chorus]
F C
How my heart filled with joy, as the others passed by
F G
By the look in their eyes I well knew
C F
That never before, as we swept round the floor
C G C
Had they seen someone lovely as you
[Outro]
F C
That never before, as we swept round the floor
G G7 C
Had they seen someone lovely as you
