The Band Played On

Music-Charles Ward
Words-John F. Palmer, date ?
 


 7 8    7    -7    8  
Casey would waltz with

-7  -6 7 -6    6
 a strawberry blonde

-6   7   -7    -9   -9
And the band played on.

-6    -7      -8   -7  -6   
He'd glide 'cross the floor 

 6   -6   -7  -8 -7 -6
with the girl he adored

6   -6    6    8    8
And the band played on.

 6   6   7     7   7  -7 -7 
But his brain was so loaded 

-7  -6 -6  -6 6 6
it nearly exploded

-6  -6   -6    -6   
The poor girl would 

 -6    -8  8  9
shake with alarm.

-6 -6-7    7    -8   
He never would leave 

-6   6    -6  -7    7
the girl with the curls

-8   8  -6    -7    7
And the band played on.
