Maginot Waltz

[Ab9]All off to Brighton in a [F#aug]charabanc
[Ab9]Albert played his banjo and [F#aug]how we sang.
The [C]beer was e[C]xpensive but the laughter [G]was free
    [A]                     [D] ([D] run)
Oh how we do love to all be beside the sea.

[Ab9]Albert had a cousin named [F#aug]Marjorie
[Ab9]And I had been noticing that she had [F#aug]noticed me.
[C]I quickly dec[Eb7]ided if s[G]he d[Gmaj7]idn't mi[E]nd
          [A]              [D]       [G]   ([G] run)
I would spend the day in her gay company.

We shared a plate of whelks strolling side by side.
I said she weren't too old to take a donkey ride
But I didn't mind when she laughed and said no
So we paused for a while and listened to the minstrel show.

There was a notice at the Palace Pier
It said there was to be a dance that night and it wasn't dear.
I explained of course that I could only waltz
And so we waltzed to every tune they played.

[A] | [D]    | [G]         |([G] run)

Nine o'clock come round we had to take the charabanc
Albert was too drunk to play the banjo but still we sang
All except Marjorie, I could tell at a glance
Because me and Albert was leaving for France.

I said "We'll both be home in a week or two
Me and Albert and Lord Kitchener will teach the Hun a thing or two.
I'm sure to return, after me do not yearn
And we will waltz together all our lives through."
