Intro/Bridge 3 

       C                         Am        
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women 
          C              E7             Am 
There's a shoulder where death comes to cry 
          F                       G 
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows 
          F                          C 
There's a tree where the doves go to die 
          Am          
There's a piece that was torn from the morning 
       Dm           A7         Dm  
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost 

Refrain 1: 
F              C 
Aey, aey, aey, aey 
          E7               Am 
Take this waltz, take this waltz 
           Dm7                        F            Bridge 1 
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws 

Verse: 
     C           E7          Am 
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you 
     C                     Am 
On a chair with a dead magazine   
       F                      G 
In the cave at the tip of the lily 
        F                          C 
In some hallway where love's never been 
     Am 
On a bed where the moon has been sweating 
     Dm              A7            Dm 
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand 

Refrain 2: 
F              C 
Aey, aey, aey, aey 
          E7               A 
Take this waltz, take this waltz 
         F6                   G          Bridge 2 
Take its broken waist in your hand 
     Am  
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz 
         Dm                 Am 
With its very own breath of brandy and death 
F6                       C      Intro/Bridge 3 
Dragging its tail in the sea 


Verse: 
There's a concert hall in Vienna 
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews 
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking 
They've been sentenced to death by the blues 
But who is it climbs to your picture 
With a garland of freshly cut tears? 

Refrain 1: 
Aey, aey, aey, aey 
Take this waltz, take this waltz 
Take this waltz it's been dying for years 

Verse: 
There's an attic where children are playing 
Where I've got to lie down with you soon 
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns 
In the mist of some sweet afternoon 
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow 
All your sheep and your lilies of snow 

Refrain 2: 
Aey, aey, aey, aey 
Take this waltz, take this waltz 
With its, I'll never forget you, you know 
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz 
With its very own breath of brandy and death 
Dragging its tail in the sea 

And I'll dance with you in Vienna 
I'll be wearing a river's disguise 
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder 
My mouth on the dew of your thighs 
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook 
With the photographs there, and the moss 

         F                          G 
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty 
   F                   C 
My cheap violin and my cross 
           Am   
And you'll carry me down on your dancing 
       Dm             A7           Dm 
To the pools that you lift on your wrist 

Refrain 1: 
Oh my love, oh my love 
Take this waltz, take this waltz 
It's yours now, it's all that there is      Bridge 1 + Bridge 3/Intro
