D Gmaj7 F#m7 Gmaj7 x2
[Verse]
D Gmaj7
E kindly word for friends and strangers almost anyone she meets
D Gmaj7
E lonely house at the end of the road full of silly memories
F#m7 G Em A7
And when the locals laugh at her she turns a blind eye to it all
D Gmaj7
She sees the irony and so what no-one really meant it
D Gmaj7
E grey old lady, touched and lonesome, just a little bit eccentric
F#m7 G Em A7
But no-one sees the secrets hidden in a diary stowed beneath the stairs
[Bridge 1]
D Gmaj7
And she sat that night in her chair by the fire hearing his violin
A G D
Tears appeared and burned her cheeks as he caressed every string
Bm Em
As the dawn arrives to hurt her eyes the coals are growing dim
A G D
And when the room grows cold she still recalls every inch of him.
G-Bm pause D Gmaj7 X2
D Gmaj7
Germaine was a leggy lady, barely old enough to know how
D Gmaj7
To hold the right knife at the table it was difficult but somehow
F#m7 G Em A7
She caught the eye of an evening pirate and he sailed his way into her heart
D Gmaj7
Her Valentino played violin till it was well into the night
D Gmaj7
Enjoyed her evening oh so much although she never ate a bite
F#m7 Bm Em A7
So Cinderella lost her slipper to a Lilting, Latin Gigolo.
[Bridge 2]
Bm Em
And he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
A G D
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
Bm Em
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
A G D Bm
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
Em A
There was no-one there but her and as she sadly took her fur, she heard...
[Interlude]
D A Em A x2
[Verse]
D Bm Em G Bm A
E little weary eyed, but smiling she wandered home...Alone.
D Gmaj7 X2
D Gmaj7
Then every evening she came back to her table by the window
D Gmaj7
An anxious lady looking at the man who lit her candle
F#m7 G Em A7
And as the waitresses took their coats she’d stand and leave to call a cab
A#maj7 F#m7 x4
[Bridge 3]
A#maj7 F#m7
They closed The Ritz at the end of the war they had boards on every door
G#maj7 D#m7
With peeling paint and ceilings cracks and not a carpet for the floor
Dm7 Gm7 Cm7 F
Some seen a candle flicker through and old and broken window pane
[Outro]
Bm Em
Now she sits that night in her chair by the fire hearing his violin
A G D Bm
Tears appear and burned her cheeks as he caresses every string
Bm Em
As the dawn arrives to hurt her eyes the coals are growing dim
A G D
And when the room grows cold she still recalls every inch of him.
Bm Em
When he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
A G D
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
Bm Em
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
A G D
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
D Bm Em G D A
E little weary eyed, but smiling she wandered home...Alone.
