Gun Club: "Idiot Waltz" (from the "Lucky Jim" album)
intro: 4x Am7 (x02213) G (320003) Em (022003) (=verse, first time guitar only))
Am G Em
That line don't make it here no more
Am G Em
nothing reanimates the old times
Am G Em
black clouds to the west
Am G Em
darkness closing from the East Side
Get your friends out of the car!
we got a date in the trees tonight
take off your clothes, you ain't going far
you're going to give me fun tonight
G Em
Turn on the headlights
D G
for the idiot waltz
G Em
turn on the lights
D
watch us fall
instrumental = 2x Am7 G Em
Your body don't get me off no more
it takes a lot of smack to do that
you never made love in the trees
then I take you on your mat
Now winds of change
are blowing out the fire
I feel your breath on my neck
I hear the darkness and wires
Turn on the headlights
for the idiot waltz
turn on the lights
watch us fall
instrumental = 8x Am7 G Em
Turn on the headlights
for the idiot waltz
turn on the lights
watch us fall
It was foolish to be alive
--------------------------
it was foolish in a foolish time
--------------------------
Turn on the headlights
for the idiot waltz
turn on the lights
watch us fall
instrumental = 9x Am7 G Em
end: Am G Em (guitar only)
