I've [C] been playing some old records that [G] I found in Grandpa's trunk
Beside a wind-up gramophone [C] beneath a pile of junk
[A] And in that dusty attic I enjoyed a music show
[D] Listening to the melodies [G] of eighty years ago
[C] Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo [G]-wacka-doo
The band would play
Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo
They'd dance the night away
[F] I longed for [F#] all the magic [C] and the days of [A] cabaret
[D] Bring back those good [G] old melodies of yesterday
[D] Bring back those good [G] old melodies [F] of yesterday
[C] In my youth I studied music
And [G] they taught me how to sing
Bella Signore
[D] They took me [G] to the opera
[C] And I loved that kind of thing
But [A#] then [A] I'd listen to the stories
That my grandpa [Dm] used to tell
[D] About the roaring twenties [G] and the songs he knew so well
[C] Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo [G]-wacka-doo-wacka-doo
The band would play
Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo-wacka [C]-doo
They'd dance the night away
[F] I longed [F#m] for all the magic [G] and the days [A] of cabaret
[D] Bring back those [G] good old melodies of yesterday
[D] Bring back those [G] good old melodies [F] of yesterday
[C] Then he'd talk about flappers [G] and the way they used to dance
[E]
[A] [Dm] About the bootleg licker [C] and the ballrooms of romance
[A] Then later in the movies [Dm] there was dancing everywhere
[D] My grandpa [D] said he dreamed that [G] he could move like Fred Astaire
[C]
[G]
[C] [F] [F#]
[C] [E] [D] [G]
[F] [C] Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo [G]-wacka-doo
The band would play
Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo
[C] They'd dance the night away
[F] I longed for [F#] all the magic [C] and the days of [A] cabaret
[D] Bring back those good [G] old melodies [F] of yesterday
[D] Bring back those good [G] old
