[Verse]
G# C#maj7
A# kindly word for friends and strangers almost anyone she meets
G# C#maj7
A# lonely house at the end of the road full of silly memories
Cm7 C# A#m D#7
And when the locals laugh at her she turns a blind eye to it all
G# C#maj7
She sees the irony and so what no-one really meant it
G# C#maj7
A# grey old lady, touched and lonesome, just a little bit eccentric
Cm7 C# A#m D#7
But no-one sees the secrets hidden in a diary stowed beneath the stairs

She caught the eye of an evening pirate and he sailed his way into her heart
G# C#maj7
Her Valentino played violin till it was well into the night
G# C#maj7
Enjoyed her evening oh so much although she never ate a bite

And he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
D# C# G#
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
Fm A#m
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
D# C# G# Fm
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
A#m D#
There was no-one there but her and as she sadly took her fur, she heard...

G# C#maj7
Then every evening she came back to her table by the window
G# C#maj7
An anxious lady looking at the man who lit her candle

They closed The Ritz at the end of the war they had boards on every door
Dmaj7 Am7
With peeling paint and ceilings cracks and not a carpet for the floor

Some seen a candle flicker through and old and broken window pane
[Outro]
Fm A#m
Now she sits that night in her chair by the fire hearing his violin

When he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
D# C# G#
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
Fm A#m
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
D# C# G#
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
G# Fm A#m C# G# D#
A# little weary eyed, but smiling she wandered home...Alone.
