Pretty Ballerina:The Left Banke.

(Bear in mind, there’s only so much you cando
with one guitar.)INTRO: Eb Ab Eb Eb Ab Eb
#1.
I had a date with a pretty ballerina.
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes.
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me.
Was I surprised, yeah..was I surprised, no not at all.

#2.
I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow.
I could not keep the joy that was inside.
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me.
Somewhere a mountain is moving..afraid it’s moving without me.
(Orchestral Break.)
#3.
I had a date with a pretty ballerina.
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes.
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me.
Was I surprised, yeah..was I surprised, no not at all.
#4.
And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning.
I open up my eyes to find there’s rain.
And something strange within said, go ahead and find her.
Just close your eyes, yeah..just close your eyes
and she’ll be there.
OUTRO:
She’ll be there…(x2)
