Once she came in-to my room, feathered hat, and all,
EmADADEmA
Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped a-round her should-ers. Two eyes like lights,
EmABm7DEmA
Milky marble whites looking up at me, looking for a way,
EmADCD7
Moons in an endless day. And all I knew was with her then,
EmAEmADAD
No, couldn't see the time,as we drank down the wine to the last sweet scar-let
(verse 2)

How was I to wonder why, or even question this? Underneath her kiss,
EDEABEC#m
I was so un-guard-ed . Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone,
F#mBEmA7DCEmAEmA
Ah, but the song goes on so ho-ly
(verse 3)
DCD7EmAEmA
She was so much younger then, wild like the wind, a gypsy with a grin,
DADEmA
From an old far away coun-try, but deep beneath her curls,
EmADBmE
Be-neath this misty pearl, there was more to see. She could move mountains
DF#mBF#mBE
in the dark, as silent as a knife, she cut loose a life that she never,
DEABE
No, never really want-ed. All those days are frozen now, and all those scars
C#mF#mBEmA7EmG
are gone, ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly

Come let us drink again, be-fore the second show,
F#mBEDE
I want you so to know ,there's no bridge be-tween us,
ABEC#m
All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone,
F#mBEmA7DCEmAEmAD
ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly
