Peter and Lou would skate
E MajorE         EbmEbm  Ab7Ab7
On winter's frozen lake
A augmentedA             AbmAbm
Circling around all their friends
A augmentedA           F#m7F#m7  BB
Laughing wherever they went.

E MajorE          E MajorE
They're catching the mornin' plane
  E MajorE          EbmEbm  Ab7Ab7
And sendin' the rest by train,
A augmentedA              AbmAbm
Hangin' their skates on the wall
A augmentedA              AbmAbm
Takin' their turn and that's all
   F# minorF#m    Am6Am6   E MajorE    F#F#      A augmentedA      B7B7
With brushes & canvas & macrome handcrafts & Bessie Smith singin' the
E7E7
blues...
A augmentedA          AbmAbm
A augmentedA chorus for Peter & Lou.

B7B7  B7B7

E MajorE        E MajorE
Now loneliness has a way
  E MajorE         EbmEbm  Ab7Ab7
Of hangin' around all day
  A augmentedA           AbmAbm
I'm standing alone on the ice
  A augmentedA      C# minorC#m  F#m7F#m7     BB
I'm wonderin' if maybe they've been right

E MajorE             E MajorE
So I'll catch the mornin' plane
E MajorE          EbmEbm   Ab7Ab7
Send all the rest by train
C# minorC#m     A augmentedA      AbmAbm
Leavin' the ice there to thaw
  A augmentedA             AbmAbm
I'm takin' my turn and that's all.
   F# minorF#m     Am6Am6    E MajorE       F#F#    A augmentedA
And if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
B7B7     E7E7
singin' the blues
A augmentedA           AbmAbm
In a chorus for Peter & Lou

F# minorF#m     Am6Am6    E MajorE       F#F#    A augmentedA
Oh, if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
B7B7     E7E7
singin' the blues
A augmentedA           AbmAbm
In a chorus for Peter & Lou


THE END!
