D A G D Em F#m G A D Dsus2 D
Bm F#m
She moved through the fair with a smile in her eyes
G D A
So pure and graceful and free
Bm G
And caught the attention of one who was there
D A
A Candlestick-maker, he
G D
Handsome and young, a craftsman fine
A Bm
Smitten by her that day
G D Asus4 A
And so then he wrote down a poem for her that would say
D A G D
"Take me in your hands tonight
G D Em A
Come through the parlour by candlelight
D A G D
With thee I will wait this night
G D Em A D Dsus2 D
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh"
Bm F#m
But the journey of love is a rocky road
G D A
And comes with many a spill
Bm G
He wooed and pursued her for more than a year
D A
And then she said I will
G D
He made her a gift of a candlestick
A Bm
On their wedding day
G D Asus4 A
And written in silver around in the words, that did say
D A G D
"Take me in your hands tonight
G D Em A
Come through the parlour by candlelight
D A G D
With thee I will wait this night
G D Em A D Dsus2 D
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh"
Bm F#m G D Bm Em D Asus4 A D Dsus2 D
Bm F#m
That candlestick was so much loved and admired
G D A
But hundreds of years would go by
Bm G
'Twas there in an old Curiosity shop
D A
I found it, forgotten by time
G D
Blackened with age but soon to shine
A Bm
Beauty from long ago
G D Asus4 A
And I often consider all those who have held it before
D A G D
"Take me in your hands tonight
G D Em A
Come through the parlour by candlelight
D A G D
With thee I will wait this night
G D Em A D A
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh
D A G D
"Take me in your hands tonight
G D Em A
Come through the parlour by candlelight
D A G D
With thee I will wait this night
G D Em A D A G D
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh
G D Em A D
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh"
