Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  guess the dance is over  now,
So  you just curtsey, and  I'll bow,
 And ask  the band to play us Auld Lang Syne.
And  I'll just take what’s left  of me,
Right  back to where it used  to be,
 And you'll  go sail your magic carpet far  across the sky.
 I wish  I could have made it
More  like the movies for you,
Some  pretty Technicolor way  that’s never  been.
 I’m sorry  when I kissed you,
You  only heard  me whisper,
You  never got to hear  those viol - ins,  did you girl?
 No, you never  got to hear  those viol - ins.
The  castles that you built  so high,
Were  just too steep for me  to climb,
 And I guess  these dirty streets of mine, were just  to rough for you.
I  wish I could’ve helped  you see
 Just  one of your sweet childhood  dreams,
 But though  I tried, I could not make not one  of them come true.
 I wish  I could have made it
More  like the movies for you,
Some  pretty Technicolor way  that’s never  been.
 I’m sorry  when I kissed you,
You  only heard  me whisper,
You  never got to hear  those viol - ins,  did you girl?
 No, you never  got to hear  those viol - ins.  Oh Oh
 I’m sorry  when I kissed you,
You  only heard  me whisper,
You  never got to hear  those viol - ins,  did you girl?
   AND FADE
 No, you never got to hear those viol - ins.
I  guess the dance is over  now,
So  you just curtsey, and  I'll bow,
 And ask  the band to play us Auld Lang Syne.
And  I'll just take what’s left  of me,
Right  back to where it used  to be,
 And you'll  go sail your magic carpet far  across the sky.
 I wish  I could have made it
More  like the movies for you,
Some  pretty Technicolor way  that’s never  been.
 I’m sorry  when I kissed you,
You  only heard  me whisper,
You  never got to hear  those viol - ins,  did you girl?
 No, you never  got to hear  those viol - ins.
The  castles that you built  so high,
Were  just too steep for me  to climb,
 And I guess  these dirty streets of mine, were just  to rough for you.

You  never got to hear  those viol - ins,  did you girl?
   AND FADE
