Key: G

Introduction:  G#   Cm   C#   Eb  

 G#                 C#                       Eb                     G# 
            Margarida has a strange appeal
                                   C#                       Eb 
      Sways between suitors on a broken heel
 G#                                 C#                               Eb 
      Of course her desires they always mistook
 G#                                             C#                                 Eb 
      She'd rather've been scarred than be scarred with loathe

 G#                             C#                                 Eb 
              In conversation she often contends
 G#                                           C#                                       Eb 
              Costumes build customs that involve dead ends
 Fm                                           C#                           Eb                   Fm 
                She found her courage in a change of scene
                                 C#                             Eb 
This Sunday's social would be short its queen
All her best years spent distracted
   Fm               C#                   G# 
By these tired reenactments
 Fm                   C#                               G#                 C# 
    With the right step she'll try her chances
 Fm     Bbm     G# 
  Somewhere else
 G#       Cm                 C#                       Eb                       G# 
                There he is a step outside her view
           Cm                       C#                                 Eb                 Fm 
          Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue
                                   Bbm                             Eb                       Fm 
            Night upon night a faithful light at shore
                                           Bbm                         Eb 
              he'd only convince his legs across the floor
 G#                                         C#     Eb 
Please, don't watch me dancing
 G#                                         C#     Eb 
Oh no, don't watch me dancing
 Cm7M  Fm  Cm7M  Fm  Cm7M  Fm  Cm7M  Fm 
Something changes when she glances
 Fm                   C#                             G# 
Enough to teach you what romance is
 Fm                 C#                           G#               C# 
With the right step they try their chances
 Fm     Bbm   G# 
Somewhere else

 G#                                         C#     Eb 
Please, don't watch me dancing
 G#                           C#     Eb 
Don't watch me dancing
