Delta Queen Waltz
Down On The River Album
(John Hartford)
November 9, 2008
Banjo Tuned E,  Key D Capo 1

   D              A            D                    A
Oh we boarded the boat on the breast of the river so wide
                   D                 G                     D
And we left old St. Louis on the crest of that brown muddy tide
                      A             D
To the strains of the Delta Queen's band
    A            D           D
I found myself holding your hand
                A               D                    A
The way we had hoped we would do all that summer and fall

    D             A             D                        A
Oh the whistle came out, such a deep mellow sound in the night
                 D                    G                D
And the echo came back from the shoreline of twinkling lights
              A                  D
There was nothing we really could say
  A           D
The river had swept us away
        A                          D        A
Like a present hereafter, the warm sound of laughter
                   A            D
As we danced to the Delta Queen Waltz

Instrumental:
             A                D           A           D
 As the big wheel keeps rolling I find myself holding you near
                   D                   G                D
With the night time unfolding I'm lucky just having you here
                 A              D                   G
As a single wave curls down the shore, we're waltzing away cross the
 D
floor
                A                              D
As our heart beats assemble, the boat lightly trembles
                A               D
As we dance to the Delta Queen Waltz
