One of Ralph's best and I would say one of the greatest songs of all time.
Magic captured within 3 minutes.
[Verse 1]
Gm Dm The bar is dressed for Christmas with coloured lights Bb Eb Ebm Renee the landlady looks so nice tonight Bb C Bb C And the lights flickering, like her smile, and she still wears her hair F In the 1940s style, she prefers it that way Bb Am Though it's turned from red to grey
[Chorus]
Dm Bb A7 All things change, the only one who looks the same Dm Is the fairy on the Christmas tree
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm Big Eddie and his songs are growing old Bb The piano player blames his fingers Eb Ebm Bb C Bb Says they're freezing cold, and the tinsel hardly shines C On the faded paper chains that limply hang in lines F Bb Am With the laughter in the air that is breathed and that is shared
[Chorus]
Dm Bb A7 But people change, the only one who stays the same Dm Is the fairy on the Christmas tree
[Bridge]
G Em G Em Outside by the wall where snails have crawled G Em Leaving tinsel trails shining in the moonlight D Am Adim Em Pale Lovers promising nothing's ever gonna change C A The things they share, breathing promises A7 Dm Of cloudy vapour disappearing in the frosty Christmas air
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Bb Am Though it's turned from red to grey Dm Bb A7 All things change, the only one who looks the same Dm Is the fairy on the Christmas tree
