[Verse]
C# F#maj7
D# kindly word for friends and strangers almost anyone she meets
C# F#maj7
D# lonely house at the end of the road full of silly memories
Fm7 F# D#m G#7
And when the locals laugh at her she turns a blind eye to it all
C# F#maj7
She sees the irony and so what no-one really meant it
C# F#maj7
D# grey old lady, touched and lonesome, just a little bit eccentric
Fm7 F# D#m G#7
But no-one sees the secrets hidden in a diary stowed beneath the stairs
[Bridge 1]
C# F#maj7
And she sat that night in her chair by the fire hearing his violin
G# F# C#
Tears appeared and burned her cheeks as he caressed every string
A#m D#m
As the dawn arrives to hurt her eyes the coals are growing dim
G# F# C#
And when the room grows cold she still recalls every inch of him.
G-A#m pause C# F#maj7 X2
C# F#maj7
Germaine was a leggy lady, barely old enough to know how
C# F#maj7
To hold the right knife at the table it was difficult but somehow
Fm7 F# D#m G#7
She caught the eye of an evening pirate and he sailed his way into her heart
C# F#maj7
Her Valentino played violin till it was well into the night
C# F#maj7
Enjoyed her evening oh so much although she never ate a bite
Fm7 A#m D#m G#7
So Cinderella lost her slipper to a Lilting, Latin Gigolo.
[Bridge 2]
A#m D#m
And he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
G# F# C#
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
A#m D#m
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
G# F# C# A#m
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
D#m G#
There was no-one there but her and as she sadly took her fur, she heard...
[Interlude]
C# G# D#m G# x2
[Verse]
C# A#m D#m F# A#m G#
D# little weary eyed, but smiling she wandered home...Alone.
C# F#maj7 X2
C# F#maj7
Then every evening she came back to her table by the window
C# F#maj7
An anxious lady looking at the man who lit her candle
Fm7 F# D#m G#7
And as the waitresses took their coats she’d stand and leave to call a cab
Amaj7 Fm7 x4
[Bridge 3]
Amaj7 Fm7
They closed The Ritz at the end of the war they had boards on every door
Gmaj7 Dm7
With peeling paint and ceilings cracks and not a carpet for the floor
C#m7 F#m7 Bm7 Fb
Some seen a candle flicker through and old and broken window pane
[Outro]
A#m D#m
Now she sits that night in her chair by the fire hearing his violin
G# F# C# A#m
Tears appear and burned her cheeks as he caresses every string
A#m D#m
As the dawn arrives to hurt her eyes the coals are growing dim
G# F# C#
And when the room grows cold she still recalls every inch of him.
A#m D#m
When he stood that night by the tableside playing his violin
G# F# C#
Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes as he caressed every string
A#m D#m
As the day appeared with the tables cleared, she was still there listening
G# F# C#
And she rose to go with her eyes still closed, but she paused to glance at him.
C# A#m D#m F# C# G#
D# little weary eyed, but smiling she wandered home...Alone.
