           D        A        E         A
Beside the braes of dawn One clear new morning 
D                                A
  Down where the lilies stood in bloom 
            D            A        E       A
I knew that I was just a stranger in this world 
D             E       A
  A wind just passing through 

      D        A             E      A
So we dared to stay In these golden ways 
D                             A
  We never never knew what to do 
        D                 A                  E       A
And the world kept coming screaming all it's news at me 
D           E                 A
  Well, now I've got news for you 


          A                    E       A
So let me take you down to the dancing floor 
D                          A
   You can walk out on the crowd 
       D                             E      A
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years 
D        E              A
  In celebration of the loved 


No nothing's all that it seems In the strands and the waves 
Our steps renewed our lips confess 
We were stranded at the alter of unknown delights 
Down on the road to happiness 

And as the sunlight fills The highland hills 
It's all become so clear somehow 
That the days we spend 
Were not made to end 
We stand forever in thier glow 

          A                    E       A
So let me take you down to the dancing floor 
D                          A
   You can walk out on the crowd 
       D                             E      A
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years 
D        E              A
  In celebration of the loved 

It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor 
We can turn our lives around 
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been 
With the fool that I'd become 

Solo:  D  A  E  A  3x
       D  A  E        A



Now the hours are few And the days can be so cruel   (so cruel) 
Yes, the night are getting long    (the nights are getting long) 
And that joy that you would always bring 
It'll always keep me strong 

          A                    E       A
So let me take you down to the dancing floor 
D                          A
   You can walk out on the crowd 
       D                             E      A
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years 
D        E              A
  In celebration of the loved 

It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor 
We can turn our lives around 
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been 
With the fool that I'd become

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 5
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the change: A ↔ D
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
