[Intro]
Am  Dm  Am  Dm  G    C  G
 
[Verse 1]   (spoken - male voice)
                      C                 F  Am
When I first knew her she was a dancer
                     Dm                                     C
I saw her leap, confidently, knowing, that should she fall
                         G       Ebm               E7  F
It would be into the arms of her very own partner
                Dm                     G
She never failed to get a curtain call
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am                    G
For years we had been one with the stars
  Am               G
A Pas de Deux of renown
    F             G        C  G/B Am
I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly
                Dm     G
And gently he’d put me down
 
 
[Verse 2]
    C              G            C    F
The heights that I reached were dangerous
      Am     Dm
And I saw my partner strain
    C         G     Ebm E7
And felt when I had landed
    F            Dm     G
His strength was on the wane
 
 
[Bridge]
F                         Em
Back before my knees were blue
C           Gm           B7       E
Backs broke bending in a step for two
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am                    G
For years we had been one with the stars
  Am               G
A Pas de Deux of renown
    F             G        C  G/B Am
I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly
                Dm       C
But once I came crashing down
 
 
[Verse 3]
G   C     F
Now I’m a weaver
     Am        Dm
Wall-hangings, if you please
   C    G     Ebm E7
In everyone I feature
  F      Dm           G
A dancer with bruised knees
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am                    G
For years we had been one with the stars
  Am               G
A Pas de Deux of renown
    F             G        C  G/B Am
I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly
                Dm       C
But once I came crashing down
 
 
[Outro]
Am    Dm    G
Doop, doop, doop
Am    C     G
Doop, doop, doop
Am    Dm    G
Doop, doop, doop
Am    C     G
Doop, doop, doop
Am       Dm       G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
Am       C        G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
Am       Dm       G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
Am       C        G
Doop do, doop do, doop do
