  The song came and went
         D             Am7
Like the times that we spent
       C            D              C             G     D
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
  G
I laughed and she'd smile

It would last for awhile

D             Am           G
Listen to the mandolin rain

                    C          G   D
Down my face as she turns to go
 
[Verse 2 - No drums]
  G
A cool evening dance
D                       Am7               C
Listenin' to the bluegrass band takes the chill
         D              C                 G   D
From the air until they play the last song
G
I'll do my time
    D                  Am7              C
Oh, keeping you off my mind but there's moments
       D             C                 G
That I find, I'm not feeling so strong

Listen to the tears roll
                    C          G   D
Down my face as she turns to go
 
[Bridge]
F                   C
Runnin' down by the lakeshore
        Bm7                 Cmaj7  D
She did love the sound of a summer storm
F                          C
Playing on the lake like a mandolin
         Bm7          Em  C    D     D
Now it's washing her away once a     gain...whoa, again

[Verse 3]
    G
The boat's steaming in
      D                   Am7
Oh, I watch the sidewheel spin
      C               D                C            G   D
And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
G
I can't change my mind
      D            Am7             C
Oh, I knew all the time that she'd go
             D             C         G
But that's a choice I made long ago
 
[Chorus]

A sad song drifting low
              Am7       G
Listen to the tears roll

Down my face as she turns to go

George Michael-Careless Whisper

[Intro]
[Dm7] [Gm7] [Bbmaj7] [Am7] x 2 - SAX PART

[Verse 1] 
[Dm7] I feel so unsure [Gm7]    
As I  [Bbmaj7] take your hand and lead you  
[Am7] to the dance floor
[Dm7] As the music dies
[Gm7] Something in your eyes
[Bbmaj7] Calls to mind a silver screen
And  [Am7] all its sad goodbyes
 
[Chorus]
[Dm7] I'm never gonna dance again
[Gm7] Guilty feet have got no rhythm
[Bbmaj7] Though it's easy to pretend
I  [Am7] know you're not a fool
[Dm7] Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And  [Gm7] waste the chance that I've been given
[Bbmaj7] So, I'm never gonna dance again
The  [Am7] way I danced with you - oo - oo
 
[Dm7] [Gm7] [Bbmaj7] [Am7]
  ohh oh
 
[Verse 2]
[Dm7] Time can never  [Gm7] mend
The  [Bbmaj7] careless whispers  [Am7] of a good friend
[Dm7] To the heart and mind
[Gm7] Ignorance is kind
[Bbmaj7] There's no comfort in the truth
[Am7] Pain is all you'll find
 
[Chorus]
[Dm7] I'm never gonna dance again
[Gm7] Guilty feet have got no rhythm
[Bbmaj7] Though it's easy to pretend
[Am7] I know you're not a fool
I  [Dm7] should've known better than to cheat a friend
[Gm7] And waste the chance that I've been given
[Bbmaj7] So, I'm never gonna dance again
The  [Am7] way I danced with you, ohh oh.
 
[Interlude]
[Dm7] [Gm7] [Bbmaj7] [Am7]
           Never without your love
[Dm7] [Gm7] [Bbmaj7] [Am7]
 
[Bridge]
[Dm7] Tonight, the music seems so loud
[Gm7] I wish that we could lose this crowd
[Bbmaj7] Maybe it's better this way
[Am7] We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
[Dm7] We could have been so good together
[Gm7] We could have lived this dance forever
But  [Bbmaj7] now who's gonna dance with  [Am7] me?   Please stay
 
[Chorus]
[Dm7] And I'm never gonna dance again
[Gm7] Guilty feet have got no rhythm
[Bbmaj7] Though it's easy to pretend
I  [Am7] know you're not a fool
I  [Dm7] should've known better than to cheat a friend
And  [Gm7] waste the chance that I've been given
[Bbmaj7] So, I'm never gonna dance again
The  [Am7] way I danced with you
 
[Outro]
[Dm7] ------ [Gm7] Oh ho----------- [Bbmaj7] ---------- [Am7] ---------------                                     
[Dm7]  Now that you're  [Gm7] gone  Now that you're  [Bbmaj7] gone        [Am7]    
[Dm7] Now that you're go [Gm7] ne  Was what I did so wrong?
so  [Bbmaj7] wrong, that you had to  [Am7] leave me alone?
 
[Dm7] Do-waa ahh,   [Gm7] do-waa ahh,  [Bbmaj7] do-waa ahh,   [Am7]        [x2]   
 
[Dm7] [Gm7] [Bbmaj7] [Am7]
(repeat to fade)
