Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Dancer With Bruised Knees CAPO: 4th Fret [Intro]                [Verse 1]   (spoken - male voice) When I first knew her she was a dancer      I saw her leap confidently knowing that should she fall   It would be into the arms of her very own partner       She never failed to get a curtain call [Chorus] For years we had been one with the stars A Pas de Deux of renown I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly And gently he’d put me down [Verse 2] The heights that I reached were dangerous And I saw my partner strain And felt when I had landed His strength was on the wane [Bridge] Back before my knees were blue Backs broke bending in a step for two [Chorus] For years we had been one with the stars A Pas de Deux of renown I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly But once I came crashing down [Verse 3] Now I’m a weaver Wall-hangings if you please In everyone I feature A dancer with bruised knees [Chorus] For years we had been one with the stars A Pas de Deux of renown I’d leap and he’d catch me on the fly But once I came crashing down [Outro] Doop doop doop Doop doop doop Doop doop doop Doop doop doop Doop do doop do doop do Doop do doop do doop do Doop do doop do doop do Doop do doop do doop do
