[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D][A][Em][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
We [D]shared
the experience of [Bm]being [D]alive
And then we [G]took [D]some [G]tea
[D]We finished [Em]up and a[Bm]ll on a [D]whim
We talked as it [A]was [G]free

[Verse 2]
[A]When we went [G]to get the bill
The lady [D]looked us [A]over
She told us, 'now [G]you stay quite still
And [D]I'll fetch in [A]some clover'

[Verse 3]
And [Bm]all of the y[A]ellow [G]melancholy
[Bm]The world abou[A]t grew stark[G]
The [Bm]only [A]sound in [G]all of [Bm]the place
Was the singing [A]of a lark
[G]

[Verse 4]
It sang [Bm]Holly go [A]lightly [G]bright as [D]the day
[Bm]Fresh [A]as the moon and [G]stale as the hay
[Bm]Cold as the [A]window [G]frozen [D]with frost
You [Bm]never been [A]seen and you [G]never
been [D]lost
[A][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[A][G][D]
And lost I was for [Em]all o[A]f the [D]time
We never shared there[G]after
[D]Closing my [Em]books and [Bm]chilling my [D]feet
The air blew [Em]in much d[G]arker

[Verse 6]
[A]Four boys they've been
[G]laughing at me
[D]The folds of my skin are [A]frayed
I'm the oldest man I [G]know by now
I was the young[D]est yes[A]terday

[Verse 7]
[Bm]What did I [A]lose to [D]mourn [G]so lon[Bm]g
A worm in the [A]heart has [G]stained me
[Bm]Laying to [A]rest in [G]a ventricle
[Bm]Stirs when I take [A]my tea[G]

[Verse 8]
[Bm]Holly go [A]lightly [G]bright as [D]the day
[Bm]Fresh as [A]the moon and [G]stale as the hay
[Bm]Cold as the [A]window [G]frozen with [D]frost
[Bm]You never been s[A]een and you [G]never been
[D]lost[Asus4][A]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Asus4][D][A][Em][D]

[Verse 9]
I saw her [D]once and she came
[G]upon the mid[D]day
And gave me both her [G]hands
[D]It seemed while [Em]I was st[D]ill
[Bm]dreaming of [D]the waves
That she lived a [Em]while on [G]land
[A]Slipping through a stream

[Verse 10]
[G]of dark
[D]The streets laid out [A]a way
Stayed above [G]the level
Kept my [D]wondering heart at [A]bay

[Verse 11]
[Bm]In the s- - a [A]feeling [G]in the land
I was daily deal[Bm]ing
There's a turn of a [A]twisting [G]smile
[Bm]Cheap is your [A]time now [G]tea
don't taste so [Bm]fine
How are you, it's [A]been a while
[G]

[Verse 12]
[Bm]Holly go [A]lightly [G]bright as [D]the day
[Bm]Fresh as [A]the moon and [G]stale as the hay
[Bm]Cold as the [A]window [G]frozen with [D]frost
[Bm]You never been s[A]een and
you [G]never been [D]lost

[Verse 13]
[Bm]Holly go [A]lightly [G]bright as [D]the day
[Bm]Cold as [A]the moon and
[G]stale as [Bm]the hay
Fresh as the [A]window [G]frozen with [D]frost
[Bm]You never been s[A]een and you
[G]never been [D]lost
