D#m        Bbm             F#    Bbm
 I   can  still smell the fire 

 F               Bbm        F#
Even though it's long died out 

     D#m        Bbm         F#    Bbm
The smoke still hangs in my hair 

    F             Bbm      F#          C#
And on some quiet evenings it burns my eyes 

   Bbm       F#       G#   C#
So darling, play your violin 

  Bbm       F#       G#   C#
I know it's what you live for 

Bbm      F#        G#  C#
Darling, play your violin 

Bbm     F#     G#  C#
We will manage somehow

D#m    Bbm          F#   Bbm
I once lived in the sea 

F                Bbm          F#
Bring me to your ear, you can hear 

    D#m           Bbm           F#  Bbm
The tide where    I     used to be 

       F             Bbm
Though now I'm but a shell, 

F#
  Oh babe, 

Bbm   F#  G#  C#
Don't say sorry 

Bbm      F#        G#  C#
Darling, play your violin 

  Bbm       F#       G#   C#
I know it's what you live for 

Bbm      F#        G#  C#
Darling, play your violin 

Bbm     F#     G#  C#
We will manage somehow 

Bbm        F#     G#  C#
Don't dare regret anything 

  Bbm    F#          G#   C#
Remember what you're here for, you 

Bbm  F#        G#  C#
Just play your violin 

    Bbm     F#     G#  C#
And we will manage somehow.
