Intro:

C     F
 
 
Verse 1:
     F                          Bb
Well I was just eighteen and he looked like Steve McQueen
    F                               C7
And I was pretty green and ripe for love
        F                            Bb
Well he took me out to bars, we went parkin' in his car
    F              C7                  F
And every night he showed me what love was
 
 
Chorus:
             Bb                                 F
And love was once around the dance floor, have another drink or two
C7                            F
Just before we left the local bar
              Bb                               F
Then love was once around the back seat of his souped up Chevrolet
C7                            F
Once around a dream and gone away

Verse 2:
     F                          Bb
Well he was quite a lover and I didn't have another
      F                           C7
For a while when he took away his love
           F                            Bb
Cause it's so hard to get used to doin' without what you're used to
    F                  C7               F
And when he's gone you know just what love was
 
 
Chorus:
             Bb                                 F
And love was once around the dance floor, have another drink or two
C7                            F
Just before we left the local bar
              Bb                               F
Then love was once around the back seat of his souped up Chevrolet
C7                            F
Once around a dream and gone away

Verse 3:
        F#                             B
Looking back now I don't wonder if the lightning and thunder
  F#                           C#7
I felt had anything to do with love
            F#                                 B
Cause there comes a time for learning when you learn while you are burning
    F#               C#7              F#
And find that wasn't really what love was
 
 
Chorus:
             B                                  F#
And love was once around the dance floor, have another drink or two
C#7                           F#
Just before we left the local bar
              B                                F#
Then love was once around the back seat of his souped up Chevrolet
C#7                           F#
Once around a dream and gone away
 
 
Outro:
         B                                F#
Love was once around the back seat of his souped up Chevrolet
C#7                           F#  B  F#
Once around a dream and gone away
