E          E
Peter and Lou would skate
E         Ebm  Ab7
On winter's frozen lake
A             Abm
Circling around all their friends
A           F#m7  B
Laughing wherever they went.

E          E
They're catching the mornin' plane
  E          Ebm  Ab7
And sendin' the rest by train,
A              Abm
Hangin' their skates on the wall
A              Abm
Takin' their turn and that's all
   F#m    Am6   E    F#      A      B7
With brushes & canvas & macrome handcrafts & Bessie Smith singin' the
E7
blues...
A          Abm
A chorus for Peter & Lou.

E        E
Now loneliness has a way
  E         Ebm  Ab7
Of hangin' around all day
  A           Abm
I'm standing alone on the ice
  A      C#m  F#m7     B
I'm wonderin' if maybe they've been right

E             E
So I'll catch the mornin' plane
E          Ebm   Ab7
Send all the rest by train
C#m     A      Abm
Leavin' the ice there to thaw
  A             Abm
I'm takin' my turn and that's all.
   F#m     Am6    E       F#    A
And if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
B7     E7
singin' the blues
A           Abm
In a chorus for Peter & Lou

F#m     Am6    E       F#    A
Oh, if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
B7     E7
singin' the blues
A           Abm
In a chorus for Peter & Lou


THE END!
