D                  D7sus4
Once she came in - to my room,

Em                       A  Asus2
Feathered hat, and all,

Em                  A
Wearing a warm wool shawl...

            D         A        D
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
And all I knew was with her then,

    Em                      A Asus2
No, couldn't see the time,

      Em             A   
As we drank down the wine...

             D        A      D
To the last  ...sweet scar - let
[Verse 2]
E            D/E
How was I to wonder why,

   F#m                   B  Bsus2
Or even question this?

F#m            B           E          D       E
Underneath her kiss, I was so ...un - guard - ed,

A              B4    B
Every bottle's empty now,

    E                    C#m
And all those dreams are gone,

F#m              B             Em    A7    D  D7sus4
Ah, but the song ...carries on ...so ho----ly

[Verse 3]
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
But deep beneath her curls,

     Em
Be - neath this misty pearl,

A             Bm7          D  Dsus2
 ...There was more to see
[Verse 4]
E                           D/E 
She could move mountains in the dark,

   F#m               B Bsus2     F#m               B
As silent as a knife      ...she cut loose a life...

         E                      D        E
That she never, ...never really wanted,

A                  B4     B
All those days are frozen now,

    E                   C#m    F#m                B
And all those scars are gone,  ah, but the song...

           Em     A7    Em   G   Em   G
Carries on  ...so ho----ly

[Verse 5]
E                       D/E      F#m
Come let us drink again  ...be - fore the second show,

B  Bsus2    F#m                  B
          I want you so to know...

           E              D/E   E
There's no bridge ...be - tween us,

    A                    B4     B
Oh, all those gates have opened now,

    E                     C#m
And through the light has shone,

F#m               B           Em     A7   D   D7sus4
Ah, but the song ...carries on ...so ho---ly
