Intro
F# Bmaj7 A#m7 Bmaj7 x2
[Verse]
F# Bmaj7
G# kindly word for friends and strangers almost anyone she meets
F# Bmaj7
G# lonely house at the end of the road full of silly memories
A#m7 B G#m C#7
And when the locals laugh at her she turns a blind eye to it all
F# Bmaj7
She sees the irony and so what no-one really meant it
F# Bmaj7
G# grey old lady, touched and lonesome, just a little bit eccentric
A#m7 B G#m C#7
But no-one sees the secrets hidden in a diary stowed beneath the stairs
[Bridge 1]
F# Bmaj7
And she sat that night in her chair by the fire hearing his violin
C# B F#
Tears appeared and burned her cheeks as he caressed every string
D#m G#m
As the dawn arrives to hurt her eyes the coals are growing dim
C# B F#
And when the room grows cold she still recalls every inch of him.
G-D#m pause F# Bmaj7 X2
F# Bmaj7
Germaine was a leggy lady, barely old enough to know how
F# Bmaj7
To hold the right knife at the table it was difficult but somehow
A#m7 B G#m C#7
She caught the eye of an evening pirate and he sailed his way into her heart
F# Bmaj7
Her Valentino played violin till it was well into the night
F# Bmaj7
Enjoyed her evening oh so much although she never ate a bite
A#m7 D#m G#m C#7
So Cinderella lost her slipper to a Lilting, Latin Gigolo.
[Bridge 2]
D#m G#m
And he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
C# B F#
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
D#m G#m
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
C# B F# D#m
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
G#m C#
There was no-one there but her and as she sadly took her fur, she heard...
[Interlude]
F# C# G#m C# x2
[Verse]
F# D#m G#m B D#m C#
G# little weary eyed, but smiling she wandered home...Alone.
F# Bmaj7 X2
F# Bmaj7
Then every evening she came back to her table by the window
F# Bmaj7
An anxious lady looking at the man who lit her candle
A#m7 B G#m C#7
And as the waitresses took their coats she’d stand and leave to call a cab
Dmaj7 A#m7 x4
[Bridge 3]
Dmaj7 A#m7
They closed The Ritz at the end of the war they had boards on every door
Cmaj7 Gm7
With peeling paint and ceilings cracks and not a carpet for the floor
F#m7 Bm7 Em7 A
Some seen a candle flicker through and old and broken window pane
[Outro]
D#m G#m
Now she sits that night in her chair by the fire hearing his violin
C# B F# D#m
Tears appear and burned her cheeks as he caresses every string
D#m G#m
As the dawn arrives to hurt her eyes the coals are growing dim
C# B F#
And when the room grows cold she still recalls every inch of him.
D#m G#m
When he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
C# B F#
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
D#m G#m
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
C# B F#
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
F# D#m G#m B F# C#
G# little weary eyed, but smiling she wandered home...Alone.
