E E
Peter and Lou would skate
E Ebm Ab7
On winter's frozen lake
A Abm
Circling around all their friends
A F#m7 B
Laughing wherever they went.
E E
They're catching the mornin' plane
E Ebm Ab7
And sendin' the rest by train,
A Abm
Hangin' their skates on the wall
A Abm
Takin' their turn and that's all
F#m Am6 E F# A B7
With brushes & canvas & macrome handcrafts & Bessie Smith singin' the
E7
blues...
A Abm
A chorus for Peter & Lou.
B7 B7
E E
Now loneliness has a way
E Ebm Ab7
Of hangin' around all day
A Abm
I'm standing alone on the ice
A C#m F#m7 B
I'm wonderin' if maybe they've been right
E E
So I'll catch the mornin' plane
E Ebm Ab7
Send all the rest by train
C#m A Abm
Leavin' the ice there to thaw
A Abm
I'm takin' my turn and that's all.
F#m Am6 E F# A
And if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
B7 E7
singin' the blues
A Abm
In a chorus for Peter & Lou
F#m Am6 E F# A
Oh, if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
B7 E7
singin' the blues
A Abm
In a chorus for Peter & Lou
