C# F# C#
A vagabond dreamer, a rhymer and singer of songs
F# C#
Singing to no one and nowhere to really belong
F# C#
I met a beautiful lady, a pure Southern belle of the ball
F# G#
Like Scarlet O'Hara loved no one and wanted them all
Chorus:
C# F# C#
I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults
F# C#
The good and the bad I want to remember it all
F# C#
I did a new dance and you did your Tennessee Waltz
F#
The party's all over I came uninvited
C# G# F#
I'm leaving and taking the belle of the ball

There will always be someone I guess that's the way it should be

I guess i should know that someone used to be me

They'll gather around her soon they'll all look the same

At the feet of the lady are lover's without any names
