China Waltz Chords & Lyrics - Christy Moore

[INTRO]
[F#m] [Bm] [Em] [C#]

[VERSE 1]
[A]Silver falls like [Bm]painted dolls they sit[F#m]
[Bm]Their endless [Em]days now [A]done
In [D]fields of fire their [A]hearts reti[Dm]re
[F#m]Dancing the China [Em]Waltz

[VERSE 2]
[A]Their younger years [Bm]touched by thoughts[F#m]
[Bm]Their time has [Em]surely [A]come
With [D]all their cares[A] thrown a[Dm]way
On [F#m]love of a secret [Em]Waltz

[CHORUS]
[F#m]Dance me the China [Bm]Waltz
[Em]Under the Easter [A]moon [C#]
[F#m]They move in silence their[Bm] bodies rise and fall
[Em]Overtaken in the [A]breaking light of [C#]dawn

[VERSE 3]
[A]The hard release[Bm] steals the peaceful [F#m]dream
Then [Bm]takes your [Em]breath a[A]way
But [D]here behind[A] where love is [Dm]blind
The [F#m]sound of the China [Em]Waltz

[CHORUS]
[F#m]Dance me the China [Bm]Waltz
[Em]Under the Easter [A]moon [C#]
[F#m]They move in silence their[Bm] bodies rise and fall
[Em]Overtaken in the [A]breaking light of [C#]dawn

[F#m] [Bm] [Em] [C#]

[CHORUS]
[F#m]Dance me the China [Bm]Waltz
[Em]Under the Easter [A]moon [C#]
[F#m]They move in silence their[Bm] bodies rise and fall
[Em]Overtaken in the [A]breaking light of [C#]dawn
