Johnny Flynn – After Eliot (Guitar)

C             G             F        C
We Shared the experience of being alive

C           G         F
And then we took some tea

C           G     F        C
We finished up and all on a whim

   C          G      F
We talked as it was free

G                F
When we went to get the bill

     C             G
The lady looked us over

G                      F
She told us, 'now you stay quite still

    C                    G      
And I'll fetch in some clover'

C              G       F       C
And all of the yellow melancholy

C         G          F
The world about grew stark

    C    G        F          C
The only sound in all of the place

        C       G    F
Was the singing of a lark

C        G       Am            F
Holly go lightly bright as the day

C            G        F            C
Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C           G      Am          F
Cold as the window frozen with frost

    C          G            F             C
You never been seen and you never... been lost

C          G       F          C
And lost I was for all of the time

C         G          F
We never shared thereafter

C           G          F          C
Closing my books and chilling my feet

C            G        F
The air blew in much darker

G                       F
Four boys they've been laughing at me

     C                     G
The folds of my skin are frayed

G                  F
I'm the oldest man I know by now

        C              G
As the youngest yesterday

C           G        F       C
What did I lose to mourn so long

   C           G           F
A worm in the heart has - me

C          G         F      C
Laying to rest in a ventricle

C             G        F
Stirs when I take my tea

C        G       Am            F
Holly go lightly bright as the day

C            G        F            C
Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C           G      Am          F
Cold as the window frozen with frost

    C          G            F             C
You never been seen and you never... been lost

C          G            F             C
I saw her once and she came upon the midday

C            G        F
And gave me both her hands

C               G             F              C
It seemed while I was still dreaming of the waves

C                 G        F
That she lived a while on land

G                     F
Slipping through a stream of dark

 C                      G
The streets laid out a way

G                 F
Stayed above the level

         C                  G
Kept my wondering heart at bay

C            G              F                C
In the s--a feeling in the land I was daily dealing

C                     G        F
There's a turn of a twisting smile

C              G        F                  C
Cheap is your time now tea don't taste so fine

C                 G        F
How are you, it's been a while

C        G       Am            F
Holly go lightly bright as the day

C            G        F            C
Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C           G      Am          F
Cold as the window frozen with frost

    C          G            F             C
You never been seen and you never... been lost

C        G       Am            F
Holly go lightly bright as the day

C            G        F            C
Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C           G      Am          F
Cold as the window frozen with frost

    C          G            F             C
You never been seen and you never... been lost
