Lyrics

(CN.C.)With my (Bm)high starched col lar and my (Bm)high top shoes, and my (Bm6)hair piled high up on my (A)head, I (E7)went to lose a jol ly (A)hour on the trol ley, and lost my heart in (E9sus)stead.

(CN.C.)With his (Bm)light brown der by and his (Bm)bright green tie, he was (G#7)quite the hand som est of (Caug)men.

I (F#m)start ed to yen, so I (F#m)count ed to ten, then I count ed to ten a (CN.C.)gain.

(A69)Clang, clang, clang went the trol ley,

ding, ding, ding went the (E9sus)bell,

(A9)zing, zing, zing went my (Dm)heart strings; from the (E9)mo ment I saw him, I (A69)fell.

(Aaug)Chug, chug, chug went the (Aaug)mo tor,

(Aaug)bump, bump, bump went the (Bdim)brake,

(A7)thump, thump, thump went my (Bm7)heart strings; when he (E7)smiled, I could feel the car (A69)shake.

(CN.C.)He tipped his (E13)hat and took a (A69)seat, he said he (E7)hoped he had n’t stepped up on my (A69)feet.

He asked my (G#7)name, I held my (C)breath; I could n’t (F#13)speak be cause he scared me half to (E7)death.

(A6)Buzz, buzz, buzz went the (A6)buzz er,

(A6)plop, plop, plop went the (Bm6)wheels,

(A13)stop, stop, stop went my (Dm)heart strings.

As he (Bm7)start ed to go, then I (Dm)start ed to know how it (Cdim7)feels

when the u ni verse (A69)reels.

(CN.C.)The day was (E13)bright, the air was (A69)sweet, the smell of (E7)hon ey suc kle charmed you off your (A69)feet.

You tried to (G#7)sing, but could n’t (C)squeak; in fact, you (F#13)loved him, so you could n’t e ven (B7)speak.

(A6)Buzz, buzz, buzz went the (A6)buz zer,

(A6)plop, plop, plop went the (E7)wheels,

(A13)stop, stop, stop went my (CN.C.)heart strings.

As he (Bm7)start ed to leave, I took (Dm6)hold of his sleeve with my (A6)hand,

and as if it were (Bm7)planned,

he stayed on with me, (A)and it was grand just to (C#7)stand with his hand hold ing (F#m)mine,

’til the end of the line.
