Jerry Jeff Walker – Candles And Cut Flowers (Guitar)

          G                  C         G                   C
She likes candles and cut flowers, rearranging them for hours

    G                Em                   Am7        D
And as she's lost in thought, I see the girl she was

            G                  C              G                      C
I watch her standing in the kitchen, snipping stems off with her scissors

    G             Em                  Am7          D
And humming out a love song, like she always does

         G             C             G               C
Then the flowers go in vases, that appear in all the places

     G               Em                  Am7 D      G
That give the world around her, a little wo---man's touch

    D                              G               Em
And she's the kind of woman, every woman want's to be like

    Am7   G        C                   D
And every man like me can't live without

         G                  C               G                 C
Next she changes out the candles, that have melted on the mantles

         G              Em                Am7        D
From the party that she hosted, just some nights ago

         G                   C         G                  C
Then the round one on the piano, its unusual for the deep glow

     G          Em                Am7         D
That emanates inside it, when the wick is low

        G                   C             G                 C
And the tall ones by the window, that she likes because the soft glow

G                Em                 Am7 D  G
Gives the room a feeling that she's not   alone

    D                              G                        Em
And when she's not around you, you feel like something's missing

        Am7     G       C               D
But the candles and the flowers say she's there

       G               C                       G                      C
She likes dinners with old friends, late-night calls that come from girlfriends

       G          Em                    Am7            D
She'll listen and tell them, if they're wrong or right

      G                  C               G                    C
Later on she'll draw a hot bath, light a candle, play some soft jazz

G                   Em            Am7        D
Melt down in the bubbles, and the candlelight

       G                  C                   G                   C
Before bed she likes some white wine, says it helps her mind to unwind

       G              Em                   Am7 D     G
As she reads a little while and drifts off in    the night

    D                             G                 Em
And as she lies there sleeping, I can't believe she loves me

    Am7      G        C                 D
But when she says she loves you, you feel loved

          G                  C         G                   C
She likes candles and cut flowers, rearranging them for hours

    G                Em                   Am7 D
And as she's lost in thought, I see the girl    she was
