 D                C/D              Em                  A    Asus2 A
Once she came in - to my room, feathered hat, and all,
  Em                  A                 D         A       D   
Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped a - round her should - ers, 
Em              A     Asus2 A   Em                  A            Bm7      
Two eyes like lights,          milky marble whites,   looking up at me, 
 Em                A   Asus2 A   Em                  A        
Looking for a way,              moons in an endless day,  
     D             C/D                  Em                  A   Asus2 A         
And all I knew was with her then, no, couldn't see the time, 
       Em                  A             D         A      D
As we drank down the wine... to the last... sweet scar - let!


 E            D/E           F#m                   B       
How was I to wonder why, or even question this?   
  F#m           B          E         D     E      
Underneath her kiss, I was so un - guard - ed, 
  A            Bsus4  B        E                   C#m
Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone,
F#m               B          Em    A7     D   C/D    
 Ah, but the song... carries on so ho----ly!

 D               C/D           Em             A     Asus2  A     
She was so much younger then, wild like the wind, 
   Em                A                D             A       D        
A gypsy with a grin,     from an old... far away country, 
     Em                A          Em                    A           Bm7
But deep beneath her curls, be - neath this misty pearl,  there was more to see,   
 E                      D/E               F#m               B         
She could move mountains in the dark, as silent as a knife, 
    F#m               B                 E               D      E    
She cut loose a life... that she never,   never really wanted, 
 A                 Bsus4   B        E                  C#m
All those days are frozen now, and all those scars are gone,
F#m                B              Em     A7     Em    G   Em    G
 Ah, but the song...  carries on...   so ho-----ly!      | / /  / / |

Come let us drink again,       be - fore the second show,
  F#m                   B               E          D    E
I want you so to know,     there's no bridge be - tween us,
 A                     B                E                   C#m
All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone,
F#m               B              Em     A7     D    C/D
Ah, but the song...  carries on...   so ho----ly!
