-7 -7*   8 -7* -7   -7*  8    -7*
It was just a neigh-bor-hood dance
-3*    -7*  -7 -7*  7
That's all that it was
-5   -6   -6  -6  -5*   -5 -6
But, oh, what it seemed to be
-8  8   -9  8 -8   8   -9   8
It was like a mas-quer-ade ball
5    -5   -7*  -7   7*
With cos-tumes and all
-7*     8   5   5* -5   -7*   8   7
'Cause you were at the dance with me
-7 -7*   8 -7* -7 -7* 8  -7*
It was just a ride on a train
-3*    -7*  -7 -7*  7
That's all that it was
-5   -6   -6  -6   -5*  -6 -5
But, oh, what it seemed to be
-8  8   -9  8  -8  8  -9   8
It was like a trip to the stars
5  -5 -7* -7   7*
To Ve-nus and Mars
-7*     8   5   5* -5   -7*   -5 -5*
'Cause you were on the train with me
-5* -5* -5*  8     8    -7  -7*
And when I kissed you, darl-ing
-7* -7  7*   7    7*  7   7*   -7* 7
It was more than just a thrill for me
-5*-5* -5*   8   8    -7  -7*
It was the prom-ise, darl-ing
-7* -8   8      7   -6  -5*  -5    -5* -6
Of the things that fate had willed for me
-7 -7*   8 -7* -8  8   8  -7*
It was just a wed-ding in June
-3*    -7*  -7 -7*  7
That's all that it was
-5   -6   -6  -6   -5*  -6 -5
But, oh, what it seemed to be
-8  8   -9  8 -8  8  -9  8   
It was like a roy-al af-fair
5    -5 -7* -7    7*
With ev-‘ry-one there
-7*     8   5     5* -5 -7* -7*-5-5*
'Cause you said "Yes, I do" to  me
