            Margarida has a strange appeal
       Bbm                           B                       C#               F# 
      Sways between suitors on a broken heel
       Bbm                           B                       C#                   F# 
      Of course her desires they always mistook

 Ebm               B                   F# 
By these tired reenactments
 Ebm               B                                 F#                 B 
    With the right step she'll try her chances
 Ebm     G#m     F# 
  Somewhere else
 F#       Bbm               B                       C#                       F# 
                There he is a step outside her view

          Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue
 Ebm                               B                           C# 
            Night upon night a faithful light at shore
 Ebm                               B                           C# 
            If he'd only convince his legs across the floor
 F#                                         B     C#

Something changes when she glances
 Ebm                 B                           F# 
Enough to teach you what romance is

Please, don't watch me dancing

Don't watch me dancing
