Verse 1:
N/C5                 C5    G5     A5
They're playing our song, Margarita
              F5              G5
Dance it this last time with me.
            C5    G5     A5
It won't be long, Margarita
          F5       G5
Soon I'll be overseas.
       C5                E5
Let me know that you'll care
          F5    F5   F5
When I've gone over there.
                    C5          G5
They're playing our song, Margarita.
              F5    D5       C5
Dance it this last time with me.


Verse 2:
G5         C5   G5     A5
Kiss me again, Margarita.
          F5         G5
Give me a memory of you.
             C5      G5     A5
They say in France, Margarita,
          F5             G5
One more push, we'll be through.
           C5               E5
Yes, I'll write, but where from?
            F5   F5     F5
All they'll say is 'The Somme'.
           C5        G5
Kiss me again, Margarita.
          F5      D5 C5
Give me a memory of you.


Chorus:
           A5          D5
It's a new world, Margarita,
           G5               C5
That we'll build when it's through.
            A5          D5
In that new world, Margarita,
         D5           G5
We'll be wed, me and you.


Verse 3:
N/C5          C5   G5     A5
My old great aunt Margarita,
           F5            G5
She'd been blind thirty years,
                 C5    G5     A5
Would tell me of young Margarita
       F5           G5
Of her man and her tears.
           C5          E5
She would say 'He was tall,
            F5       F5    F5
There's his picture on the wall.'
             C5         G5
My old great aunt Margarita,
           F5     D5    C5
She'd been blind thirty years.


Verse 4:
G5             C5   G5       A5
And she would ask, 'Is he smiling?'
        F5            G5
I would stare at the frame,
        C5   G5         A5
But the sun was there shining
            F5         G5
Through her window again.
           C5          E5
Where that sun always shone
        F5    F5 F5
He had faded and gone.
              C5          G5
But she would ask 'Is he smiling?'
        F5    D5      C5
I would say 'He's the same'.


Chorus:
           A5           D5
It's a new world, Margarita,
           G5               C5
That we'll build when it's through.
            A5          D5
In that new world, Margarita,
         D5           G5
We'll be wed, me and you.
