D Gm D D7

1. I went to the square dance yesternight;

G D D7

I was having a good time; I was doing all right

G Gm D

I was really getting into the swing

E E7 A A7

when the caller said a waltz he would sing.

D Gm D D7

2. Now I dance quite well in a square.

G D D7

When my partner is called home, she’s usually there.

G Gm D

But she never is looking for me

E E7 A A7

when they strike up that old one-two-three.

G A D D7

Chorus: The fellow who knows how to waltz,

G B7 E

otherwise he may have many faults.

G Gm D B7

When they’re playing that song, her heart will belong

G A D A

to the fellow who knows how to waltz.

D Gm D D7

3. Now I’m sure that I could learn that step,

G D D7

but I know that I’ll never be truly adept.

G Gm D

There are some times that I just can’t bear!

E E7 A A7

There’s some times when life just isn’t fair.

G A D D7

Chorus: The fellow who knows how to waltz,

G B7 E

otherwise he may have many faults.

G Gm D B7

When they’re playing that song, her heart will belong

G A D A

to the fellow who knows how to waltz.
