It was just a neigh-bor-hood dance
-3* -7* -7 -7* 7
That’s all that it was
-5 -6 -6 -6 -5* -5 -6
But, oh, what it seemed to be
-8 8 -9 8 -8 8 -9 8
It was like a mas-quer-ade ball
5 -5 -7* -7 7*
With cos-tumes and all
-7* 8 5 5* -5 -7* 8 7
‘Cause you were at the dance with me
-7 -7* 8 -7* -7 -7* 8 -7*
It was just a ride on a train
-3* -7* -7 -7* 7
That’s all that it was
-5 -6 -6 -6 -5* -6 -5
But, oh, what it seemed to be
-8 8 -9 8 -8 8 -9 8
It was like a trip to the stars
5 -5 -7* -7 7*
To Ve-nus and Mars
-7* 8 5 5* -5 -7* -5 -5*
‘Cause you were on the train with me
-5* -5* -5* 8 8 -7 -7*
And when I kissed you, darl-ing
-7* -7 7* 7 7* 7 7* -7* 7
It was more than just a thrill for me
-5*-5* -5* 8 8 -7 -7*
It was the prom-ise, darl-ing
-7* -8 8 7 -6 -5* -5 -5* -6
Of the things that fate had willed for me
-7 -7* 8 -7* -8 8 8 -7*
It was just a wed-ding in June
-3* -7* -7 -7* 7
That’s all that it was
-5 -6 -6 -6 -5* -6 -5
But, oh, what it seemed to be
-8 8 -9 8 -8 8 -9 8
It was like a roy-al af-fair
5 -5 -7* -7 7*
With ev-‘ry-one there
-7* 8 5 5* -5 -7* -7*-5-5*
‘Cause you said “Yes, I do” to me
