Dm7                    F
I can still smell the fire
E                             F
Though I know it's long died out
    Dm7                      F
The smoke still hangs in my hair
    E                          F        C
And on some quiet evenings it burns my eyes

Chorus:
    C        Am        F  C
So darling, play your violin
   Am         F       G     G 
I know it's what you live for
 C        Am        F  C
Darling, play your violin
Am       F      G   C
We will manage somehow

Dm7                  F
I once lived in the sea
  E                        F
Bring me to your ear, you can hear
    Dm7                   F
The tide where I used to be
        E
Though now I'm but a shell
F
Oh baby
C          G
Don't say sorry

Chorus:
Darling, play your violin
I know it's what you live for
Darling, play your violin
We will manage somehow

Don't dare regret anything
Remember what you're here for, you
Just play your violin
We will manage somehow
