Delta Queen Waltz
Composição de (John Hartford)
D              A            D                    A 
Oh we boarded the boat on the breast of the river so wide 
                   D                 G                     D 
And we left old St. Louis on the crest of that brown muddy tide 
                      A             D 
To the strains of the Delta Queen's band 
    A            D           D 
I found myself holding your hand 
                A               D                    A 
The way we had hoped we would do all that summer and fall 

    D             A             D                        A 
Oh the whistle came out, such a deep mellow sound in the night 
                 D                    G                D 
And the echo came back from the shoreline of twinkling lights 
              A                  D 
There was nothing we really could say 
  A           D 
The river had swept us away 
        A                          D        A 
Like a present hereafter, the warm sound of laughter 
                   A            D 
As we danced to the Delta Queen Waltz 

Instrumental 
             A                D           A           D 
 As the big wheel keeps rolling I find myself holding you near 
                   D                   G                D 
With the night time unfolding I'm lucky just having you here 
                 A              D                   G 
As a single wave curls down the shore, we're waltzing away cross the 
 D 
floor 
                A                              D 
As our heart beats assemble, the boat lightly trembles 
                A               D 
As we dance to the Delta Queen Waltz
