Verse 1

            A               F#m      Bm         E
I'm not the kind to sit and pine for places far away
      A             F#m        Bm         E   A
Every town I travel to has its charms and its delights
              A              F#m            Bm            E
But something about the moon tonight sent a longing to my soul
           A                    F#m       Bm   E       A
To be at a dance with the one I love on a warm prairie night

Chorus

          A                    F#m         Bm             E
And I can hear that Margaret's Waltz, that fiddle play so sweet
          F#m                    C#m      D                E
And I can feel the spring of the hardwood floor beneath my feet
           A                  F#m            D            Bm
I close my eyes and I see the lights of town twinkling at night
              A                  F#m         Bm    E       A
They say that home is where your heart is. I guess they're right

Verse 2

          A               F#m         Bm               E
So please forgive me, but tonight, my thoughts are far away
                A           F#m      Bm      E      A
To the place my memory will go, if I give it half a chance
            A             F#m         Bm             E
I smell the sage upon the air and I'm walking arm in arm
               A                F#m         Bm       E       A
With the one I love towards the sound of an old-time country dance

Chorus

          A                    F#m         Bm             E
And I can hear that Margaret's Waltz, that fiddle play so sweet
          F#m                    C#m      D                E
And I can feel the spring of the hardwood floor beneath my feet
           A                  F#m            D            Bm
I close my eyes and I see the lights of town twinkling at night
              A                  F#m         Bm    E       A
They say that home is where your heart is. I guess they're right
