Belle Of The Ball

Waylon Jennings


Tom: Db

         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


Verse 1:
         C#                             F#                            C#
        There will always be someone I guess that's the way it should be
                                   F#                 C#
        I guess i should know that someone used to be me
                                        F#                   C#
        They'll gather around her soon they'll all look the same
                                     F#                  G#
        At the feet of the lady are lover's without any names
