 SLOW COUNTRY DANCE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)<br/>
 ------------------------------------------<br/>
 [Actually in A; capo at the 2nd fret.]<br/>
  <br/>
 C  D  G  G<br/>
 [intro]<br/>
 G          C         G           D<br/>
 Out on the floor the couples are swaying<br/>
     G         C            G         D<br/>
 To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight<br/>
     Em7           C             G             D<br/>
 You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing<br/>
   G            C          D        G<br/>
 A slow country dance on a Saturday night<br/>
  <br/>
  <br/>
 G              C        G           D<br/>
 Sweethearts in love and others just lonely<br/>
 G             C          G            D<br/>
 Searching for someone to waltz with tonight<br/>
      Em7       C       G              D<br/>
 In a smoky old bar you know that it's only<br/>
   G            C          D        G     G<br/>
 A slow country dance on a Saturday night<br/>
  <br/>
     F            C       G       D<br/>
 And love's never easy or ever as true<br/>
          F           C           G         D   D<br/>
 When the changing of partners is no longer new<br/>
     G              C          G            D<br/>
 You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes<br/>
 G             C        D             G<br/>
 Dance just to dance in three-quarter time<br/>
 G  C  D  G<br/>
 [instrumental]<br/>
  <br/>
 Down at the bar a woman tells stories<br/>
 Batting her eyes to someone not there<br/>
 Her glass is half full or maybe half empty<br/>
 Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear<br/>
  <br/>
 Now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless<br/>
 And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age<br/>
 But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish<br/>
 A much lighter step and a much younger face<br/>
  <br/>
 And love's never easy or ever as true<br/>
 When the changing of partners is no longer new<br/>
 You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes<br/>
 Dance just to dance in three-quarter time<br/>
  <br/>
 G    C    G    D    G    C    G    D<br/>
 [instrumental]<br/>
 Em7  C    G    D    G    C    D    G    G<br/>
 [instrumental]<br/>
  <br/>
 G          C         G           D<br/>
 Out on the floor the couples are swaying<br/>
     G         C            D         G<br/>
 To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight<br/>
 <br/>
