Tom: Dm

F

[Verse]
F         Dm             F
Too many souls are lost
          C
So many dreams lie broken
F                Dm
Will you try to help them
F
Chase the night away
            C
Turn on the booming silver day
               F       Dm
We do it in swingtime
          Am
We don't count the skinny seconds
        C
Passing by or wonder why
F                      Dm
We do it in swingtime
           A
Make the moment suit the time
              C                  F
We make the rescue fit the crime
 F                          Dm
And feel each passing year
             C
Absorb the well of tears
       F            Dm
They shoot horses, don't they?
        F
So we dance and sway
           C
Into the pulsing, silver grey
                F         Dm
We do it in swingtime
           A
We don't count the skinny seconds
        C
Passing by or wonder why
               F         Dm
We do it in swingtime
           A
Make the moment suit the time
              C
We make the rescue fit the crime

[Verse]
F   (Pause)
Gm
          F
So many people fail
Gm              C            F
So many hearts are broken
            Dm
We come to live with pain
              A         C       F
We leave our arms wide open
F
             Dm         A       C       F
We do it in swing time
           Dm                F
Too many fights are thrown
              C
We count the cost of it growing
F                Dm      (Break)
Will you try to stop them
       F (Single Strum)
Roll away the night
                 C (Single Strum)
Break out the champagne, hit the lights
                F      Dm
We do it in swingtime
           A
We don't count the skinny seconds
        C
Passing by or wonder why
                F       Dm
We do it in swingtime
           A
Make the moment suit the time
               C
We make the rescue fit the crime
                F        Dm
We do it in swingtime
           A
We don't count the skinny seconds
                C
Passing by or wonder why
                F        Dm
We do it in swingtime
            A
Make the moment suit the time
               C
We make the rescue fit the crime
                F        Dm
We do it in swingtime
            A
We don't count the skinny seconds
                C
Passing by or wonder why
               F      Dm
We do it in swingtime

           A
We don't count the skinny seconds
         C
Passing by
     C
or wonder why
               F
We do it in swingtime


I can't write down the strumming, but it stays
the same. I think you have to count 4/4th.
It is always 4 times a Chord.
I don't play the last 4 Lines. Like it better.
