Belle of the Ball Waylon Jennings
I like to put this song in drop D and use it as a bass note to ring out through the long
lines of the chorus and verses. Play the G and A like a barre chord without the barre
and mute the open D.
A[D] vagabond dreamer, a r[G]hymer and singer of[D] songs
Singing to no one and n[G]owhere to really be[D]long
I met a beautiful lady, a p[G]ure Southern belle of the [D]ball
Like Scarlet O'Hara loved n[G]o one and wanted them[A] all

Chorus:
[G]I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your [D]faults
The good and the bad I w[G]ant to remember it[D] all
I did a new dance and you [G]did your Tennessee [D]Waltz
The party's all over I cam[G]e uninvited
I'm le[D]aving and taking the [A]belle of the[G] ball
T[D]here will always be someone I [G]guess that's the way it shoul[D]d be
I guess i should know that [G]someone used to be[D] me
They'll gather around her soon t[G]hey'll all look the [D]same
At the feet of the lady are l[G]over's without any [A]names
Chorus
[G]I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your [D]faults
The good and the bad I w[G]ant to remember it[D] all
I did a new dance and you [G]did your Tennessee [D]Waltz
The party's all over I cam[G]e uninvited
I'm le[D]aving and taking the [A]belle of the[G] ball
