[Verse]
D7 G C7 D7 G Am
With my high starched collar and my high topped shoes
D7 G C7 G
And my hair piled high upon my head
Ddim Am7 D G Bm
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley
Bbdim A7 Am7 D7
And I lost my heart instead
[Verse]
D7 G C7 D7 G Am
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie
D7 G C7 G
He was quite the handsomest of men
Ddim Am7 D G Bm
I started to yen so I counted to ten
Bbdim A7 Am7 D7
Then I counted to ten again
[Verse]
G
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
G D7
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
G Cmaj7
Zing, zing, zing went my heart-strings
G D7 G
From the moment I saw him I fell
[Verse]
G
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
G D7
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
G Cmaj7
Thump, thump, thump went my heart-strings
G D7 G
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake
[Verse]
Am7 D7 Ebdim G
He tipped his hat and took a seat
Ddim Bm C7 Bm Ebdim G
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
Gaug E7 Fdim Am
He asked my name, I held my breath
F#7 Bm7 Bbdim Am Ddim D7
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death
[Verse]
G
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
G D7
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
G Cmaj7
Stop, stop, stop went my heart-strings
Ebdim G C7 G7 Ebdim D9
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels
Bbdim G6
When the universe reels.
[Verse]
Am7 D7 Ebdim G
The day was bright, the air was sweet
Ddim D6 C7 D6 Ebdim G
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
Gaug E Fdim Am
You thought you'd sing but couldn't squeek --
F#7 Bm7 Bbdim Am7 Ddim D7
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.
[Verse]
G
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
G D7
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
G Bm G7 Am Cmaj7
Stop, stop, stop went my heart-strings
Ebdim G C7 G7 Ebdim G6
As he started to leave I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
Ebdim D7 C7 D9
And as if it were planned he stayed on with me
D Bbdim Ebdim B7 C
And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine
Bbdim C7 Am7 G
To the end of the line.
[Outro]
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
G Cmaj7 G
Zing, zing, zing went my heart...
