Now in [G] Vienna there's [Bm] ten pretty [Em] women

Oh I [G] want you I [Bm] want you I [Em] want you
on a [G] chair with a [Bm] dead maga-[Em]zine
In the [C] cave at the tip of the [D] lily in some [C] hallway
where love's never [G] been [B7]
On a [Em] bed where the moon has been sweating
in a [Am] cry filled with [E7] footsteps and [Am] sand
[C] Ay Ay Ay [G] Ay take this [B7] waltz take this [E7] waltz
Take its [Am7] broken waist in your [C] hand [Cdim] [Am7] [Em] [B7]

This [Em] waltz, this waltz, this waltz,
this waltz with its [Am] very own breath of [Em] brandy and death

There's a [G] concert [Bm] hall in Vi[Em]enna
where your [G] mouth had a [Bm] thousand re[Em]views

Where I've [G] got to lie [Bm] down with you [Em] soon
In a [C] dream of Hungarian [D] lanterns in the [C] mist of some sweet after[G]noon [B7]
And I'll [Em] see what you've chained to your sorrow
all your [Am] sheep and your [E7] lilies of [Am] snow
[C] Ay Ay Ay [G] Ay take this [B7] waltz take this [E7] waltz with its

[Am7] Dragging its tail in the [G] sea [D]
And I'll [G] dance with [Bm] you in Vi[Em]enna I'll be [G] wearing a [Bm] river's dis[Em]guise
The [C] hyacinth wild on my [D] shoulder my [C] mouth on the dew of your [G] thighs
And I'll [G] bury my [Bm] soul in a [Em] scrapbook, with the [G] photographs [Bm] there and the [Em] moss
And I'll [C] yield to the flood of your [D] beauty my [C] cheap violin and my [G] cross [B7]
And you'll [Em] carry me down on your dancing
to the [Am] pools that you [E7] lift on your [Am] wrist
