(verse 1)
 D5               C5      D5      E5               A5
Once she came in-to my room , feathered hat, and all,
   E5                 A5               D5          A5    D5   E5              A5
Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped a-round her should-ers. Two eyes like lights,
 E5             A5          B5    D5     E5           A5
Milky marble whites looking up at me, looking for a way,
  E5                 A5        D5              C5        D5
Moons in an endless day. And all I knew was with her then,
       E5              A5           E5            A5           D5         A5    D5
No, couldn't see the time,as we drank down the wine to the last sweet scar-let

(verse 2)
 E5             D5            F#5             B5       F#5           B5
How was I to wonder why, or even question this?   Underneath her kiss,
      E5       D5   E5      A5              B5             E5                    C#5
I was so un-guard-ed . Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone,
F#5           B5       E5    A5 D5   C5     E5  A5   E5  A5
Ah, but the song goes on so ho-ly

(verse 3)
 D5                 C5     D5    E5            A5       E5           A5
She was so much younger then, wild like the wind, a gypsy with a grin,
         D5            A5    D5        E5                A5
From an old far away coun-try, but deep beneath her curls,
     E5               A5               D5          B5  E5
Be-neath this misty pearl, there was more to see.   She could move mountains
 D5                F#5         B5        F#5          B5              E5
in the dark, as silent as a knife, she cut loose a life that she never,
                  D5   E5    A5                   B5              E5
No, never really want-ed. All those days are frozen now, and all those scars
     C#5  F#5          B5           E5    A5  E5 G5
are gone, ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly

(verse 4)

 E5 B5 F#5   B5 E5 B5    E5           D5             F#5               B5
                     Come let us drink again, be-fore the second show,
  F#5             B5                 E5        D5    E5
I want you so to know ,there's no bridge be-tween us,
 A5                      B5               E5                   C#5
All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone,
F#5          B5           E5    A5 D5  C5   E5 A5   E5 A5   D5
ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly
