Ladies Choice
Recorded by Ricky Nelson
Written by Jerry Fuller

C
Went to a dance one night 
                            Em
And the beautiful music was playing
                C
And through the dim blue light
                                Em
I could just see the silhouette swaying

            F                 Em
Then all at once the room was aglow
                F               G7
And through the couples I could see
          C                    F
A pair of angel eyes and I was hypnotized
          C       G7          C
They were looking straight at me


They played a ladies choice
                                  Em
And I could feel my heart beating madly
                               C
For any moment she'd ask me to dance
                Em
And I would say gladly

             F                      Em
Then someone said would you care to dance
         F                       G7
I turned around when I heard her voice
           C                   F
But it was someone else oh how sad I felt
    C         G7           C
For I was the wrong ladies choice

         G7
And when the song was through
                               C
She was alone and I caught her eye
         G7
I had to make my play before
                            C
She'd dance with some other guy

G7        C
So as the music played
                              Em
She laid her sweet head on my shoulder
              C
And she could see the love that I felt
                Em
As though I had told her

            F                   Em
Was someone waiting to take her home
           F                      G7
I wondered who would the luck boy be
             C                         F
And when the dance was through all the world was new
        C      G7         C  F
For the ladies choice was me yeah

    C      G7         C
The ladies choice was me
F       C      G7         C
Mmm the ladies choice was me
