[Verse 1]
D D7sus4 Em A Asus2
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 Em
Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites,
A Bm7 D Dsus2
Looking up at me,
Em A Asus2 Em A
Looking for a way, moons in an endless day,
D D7sus4 Em A Asus2
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!
[Verse 2]
E D/E F#m B Bsus2
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 B4 B E C#m
Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone,
F#m B Em A7 D D7sus4
Ah, but the song ...carries on ...so ho----ly!

D D7sus4 Em A Asus2
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 Asus2 Em
But deep beneath her curls, be - neath this misty pearl,
A Bm7 D Dsus2
There was more to see!
[Verse 4]
E D/E F#m B Bsus2
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 B4 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 E
I want you so to know, there's no bridge ...be - tween us,
A B4 B E C#m
Oh, all those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone,
F#m B Em A7 D D7sus4
Ah, but the song ...carries on ...so ho----ly!
