12-string Guitar: After The Ball Is Over (Including lyrics and chords)

As a young man, before the advent of transistor radios and portable record players, I used to have an old portable wind-up gramophone which I would occasionally take into the garden and on it play 78s (Bakelite records). These records were old time music hall songs, and so I learned the choruses of them, but never really learned the verses. This is the case with 'After The Ball', the chorus being very familiar, but the tune to the verses and the lyrics thereof not being familiar. I am correcting that lack of awareness now by uploading the whole song. The story is rather a sad one.

Good song, Tony. I know some different verses. My grandfather used to sing a funny version of it. I'll see if I can remember them all. ...Bill

Yes, I knew there was a parody on it. May look for it myself.

The ball is over and the stars come out.

For you 5 *****

Hope you find the parody, Tony. Laughing is good for your internal organs. ...Bill
