Mark Knopfler - Secondary Waltz Chords & Tabs

Mark Knopfler
Secondary Waltz

Unreleased track...recorded during the Golden Heart sessions, the track is available
on the CD Golden Demos. The recording technology wasn't good, the pitch is very strange,
but the songs are perfect, typical MK.

Intro: E

E
Well now the school Christmas party is coming
			B
Ain't doing rugby no more
E
McIntyre teaching us waltzing
					B
Out on the gymnasium floor
E
Nobody battered or bleeding	
					B
Nobody's tattered and torn

McIntyre's dim, loud in the gym
                 E             D                B

         C             G
And it's you, you, you're a disgrace
                         C
McIntyre tore us apart
                                                    G                  C
We dance with ourselves, when the (...) find their space
Bm                               C
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Am                               D
Waltzing with fear in our hearts

E (same as intro)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mark_knopfler/secondary_waltz_crd.html ]
On the big final manoeuvre, all of our heads are a whirl
Getting much closer to the deep thing
This time we'll do it with girls
In the arena the ladies are waiting
A twelve year old girl for a bride
The matches were fixed, somehow we mixed
And the fat girl got left on the side
The fat girl got left on the side.

         C             G
And it's you, you, you're a disgrace
                         C
McIntyre tore us apart
                                                    G                  C
We dance with ourselves, when the (...) find their space
Bm                               C
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Am                               D
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
           C             D

Well you come to my right, and I am under the light
                  G/B          C
See that my footwork is false
                                 G              C
Don't count me out, the start of the bow
            Bm                 C
I'm just doing secondary waltz
Am                  D
Doing secondary waltz
                C            D
And it's the secondary waltz
