Verse 1:
D MajorD              G+G
The band it was playing the Star Spangled Waltz
  A7A7             D MajorD
The lights in the ballroom were low
D MajorD             G+G
Oh twas sweet to my ears I fought back my tears
     D MajorD       A7A7     D MajorD
For that waltz broke my heart long ago

Verse 2:
  G+G              D MajorD
My sweetheart grew jealous as I danced with a friend
  E7E7             A7A7
And said that my love had grown false
     D MajorD             G+G
Then she told me goodbye neath that old southern sky
   D MajorD       A7A7      D MajorD
As we danced to the Star Spangled Waltz

Verse 3:
D MajorD                G+G
Then a face caught my eye as the dancers passed by
  A7A7                D MajorD
It was my sweetheart who left me to pine
                 G+G
As she whispered my name I could see oh so plain
     D MajorD      A7A7     D MajorD
That her heart it was broken like mine

Verse 4:
     G+G            D MajorD
Love had won its last fight as I kissed her that night
  E7E7           A7A7
As I did in the days long ago
    D MajorD              G+G
We had found new romance though we cried as we danced
    D MajorD     A7A7      D MajorD   G+G
To the beautiful Star Spangled Waltz
    D MajorD     A7A7      D MajorD
To the beautiful Star Spangled Waltz
