Waltz for Juliette – The Tragically Hip
I heard the old Hip bootleg from the Hips show at Grand Central in Ottawa in 1988,
and this song jumped out at me. Enjoy.
(Capo on 1st)
Juliette, your Romeo’s here
I’ll lie my blue coach down and block in the lane
Juliette, please look over here
There’s the young girl who once answered to me
To look in your eyes I’m a stranger it seems
While I’m wondering where went the girl of my dreams
Oh it was for you, no, no
Juliette
Please come over here
I’m standing outside in the yard in the rain
Juliette
The answer is clear
The Romeo’s old but it’s you that has changed
I learned after all you lost track of the lies
You nervously laugh but can’t look in my eyes
Oh, it was for you no, no
Juliette
(solo)
I learned after all you lost track of the lies
You nervously laugh but can’t look in my eyes
Oh, it was for you, no, no
Juliette
I’m fading I fear
I gather you slowly I couldn’t still time
Day after day,
I’ll think of you here
You know in your heart you will always be mine
Well now you’re an actress in some other place
And heaven, Millhaven is where I will stay
Oh, it was for you no, no
Juliette (x4)
