_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ My dear friends, _ exactly _ 25 years ago, something happened that [G] changed my whole [F] life and [Dm] the
life of my orchestra completely.
[Bm] _ I [G] heard a waltz that I never heard before.
[C] It struck
me [Cm]
immediately.
It was such a beautiful [Fm] waltz, cheerful and [C] _ melancholic at the same time.
_ [Gm] _ And I decided to record it.
[G] A few [Cm] days after we released it, [B] it _ [Abm] exploded. _
[G] Whole Holland
was singing this waltz in the [A] streets, in the [Cm] pubs, on the frozen [Eb] canals of Amsterdam.
Do you remember? _
And overnight we became real [Bb] pop stars.
_ [Eb] Within a week we [C] were in the top
[Ab] ten of the charts.
[Gm] And then for [Ab] weeks and weeks [Eb] we stayed [Bb] number one.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ So that meant
a big change in our lives.
_ _ [Bb] I recorded this magnificent waltz again on this CD.
[Eb] Happy
days!
_ _ _ Because it really [Ab] made us all [F] very, very happy.
[Gm] And I'm sure it [Bb] will make [Eb] you
happy too.
By Dmitri [G] _ [Gm] Shostakovich, the second waltz.
[Cm] I still get goosebumps when I hear it. _ _ _ _ _
