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)

Barterers & their wives
Barterers & their wives
Trading, fading, faking, breaking,
Barter away their lives

Crowding the city gate
Shunning the master s fate
Low decisions they envision,
Cleaning the paupers plates

D A C G D . . .
In the marketplace, trading commonplace friends
D A C G D . . .
Come to banter on odds to meet their own ends
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/left_banke/barterers_and_their_wives_crd.html )
Barterers hold their own
Pinching on what they loan
After seeding, people pleading,
Spending the heat alone

D A C G D . . .
Who will sacrifice pride for being nice game
D A C G D . . .
He s in season & that s the reason he came

break

Barterers & their trade
Lately fall back to fade
Every evening, packing, leaving,
Counting on what they ve made

D A C G D . . .
Wifely cooking will keep them looking their best
D A C G D . . .
As they smile & set out beguiling with jest

Barterers & their wives
Barterers & their wives
Trading, fading, faking, breaking,
Barter away their lives

D A C G D . . . 2x

The orchestral part is tough to get ? this is as close as I could do by ear.

Shadows breaking over my head
Shadows breaking over my head

I wanted to see her
I want her alone, I tell you
I wanted to see her
though I knew she has left me
now through trees I don’t see

Shadows breaking over my head
Shadows breaking over my head

How well does she know me
how well do I see her
it’s something I told her
this way to really see me
please don’t leave me

Eyes that would be dancing through my time
would help me find a way
to seek her out in my mind
no no not this time it’s through
for her and me

Shadows breaking over my head
Shadows breaking over my head
