Sentient Cement Coverpile - Leon Redbone

Bittersweet Waltz - Leon Redbone

D                    A7         D G
Some say that life's an illusion
D                           A7                  D   D4 D
Who knows what's false or what's true
       F#7        Bm          F#7           Bm
The distant horizon can be quiet surprisin'
          E             E7           A      A4 A
When finally the journey is through
        D          D7             G          Gm
With all of its glories and all of its faults
             D         A7             D     D4 D
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz

D                   A7                D    G
Some say the grass is much greener
D                   A7         D   D4 D
Once you get over the fence
    F#7              Bm          F#7           Bm
If that's your objective, beware of perspective
        E                  E7                A     A4 A
Conclusions don't always make sense
        D          D7             G          Gm
With all of its glories and all of its faults
             D         A7             D     D4 D
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz

D               A7                      D   G
You never know what you're holding
D               A7       D   D4 D
Til it starts slipping away
F#7                Bm         F#7              Bm
Your best protection is show some affection
      E                    E7            A   A4 A
To those who are with you today
        D          D7             G          Gm
With all of its glories and all of its faults
             D         A7             D     D4 D
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz
        D          D7             G          Gm
With all of its glories and all of its faults
             D         A7             D     D4 D
It seems life is a bittersweet waltz

Written by Craig Safan / Mark Mueller
Sorry fellerz, but I'd never find it again
if I filed it that way.

Leon's version is in Db.

JC Says:
The suspends are my little twist on it I guess.
Suspend not for a purist version.
Lest ye be suspended by your suspenders
Suspensefully.

This tune was played at JC's wedding
whenceby he was introduced to this ditty
by his beloved betrothed.
