Sweet Scarlet Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Once she came into my room,
[Em]feathered hat an' [A]all[Asus2][A]
[Em]Wearing a warm wool [A]shawl wrapped
[D]around her [A]shoulder[D]s
[Em]Two eyes like [A]lights,
[Asus2]milky mar[Em]ble whites lo[A]oking up at me[Bm][D]
[Em]Looking for a way,
[A]Moo[Asus2]ns in an [Em]endless day[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]All I knew was with her then,
no [Em]couldn't see [A]the time
[Em]As we drank down the w[A]ine to
the [D]last Sweet [A]Scarlet[D]
[E]How was I to won[D]der why or
[F#m]even question t[B]his
[F#m]Underneath her her [B]kiss I was
[E]so un[D]guarded[E]
[A]Every bottle's [B]empty now and
[E]all those dreams are [C#m]gone
[F#m]Ah, but th[B]e song carries on,
[Em]so holy[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]She was so much younger then,
[Em]wild like the [A]wind[Asus2]
[Em]A gypsy with a [A]grin from and old
[D]far away country[A][D]
but [Em]deep beneath her [A]curls,[Asus2]
Be[Em]neath this misty pearl,
[A]there was mor[Bm]e to [D]see[Bm]

[Verse 4]
[E]She could move mountains [D]in the
dark as [F#m]silent as [B]a knife
[F#m]She cut loose [B]a life that she never
[E]no never really wan[D]ted[E]
[A]All those days are [B]frozen now and
[E]all those scars [C#m]are gone
[F#m]Ah, but th[B]e song carries on[Em], so ho[A]ly[D]

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][Em][G][Em][G][Em][C]
[Bm][Em][D][Bm][F#][Bm]
[F#][Bm][Em][F#][Bm][Em]
[F#][E][B][Gaug][B]
[E]Come let us

[Verse 5]
[D]drink again,
be[F#m]fore the second s[B]how
I [F#m]want you so to k[B]now there's
no [E]bridge between us
[A]All those gates have [B]opened now,
and [E]through the light has [C#m]shone
[F#m]Ah, but th[B]e song carries on,
[Em]so holy[A]
