[Verse 1]
[Bm]She moved through the fair with [F#m]a smile in her eyes
So [G]pure and [D]graceful [A]and free
And [Bm]caught the attention
[G]of one who was there
A Can[D]dlestick- maker, [A]he
[G]Handsome and young, [D]a craftsman fine
[A]Smitten by her that [Bm]day
[G]And so then he wrote down a [D]poem
for her that [A]would say
[D]"Take [A]me in your [G]hands to[D]night
[G]Come through the [D]parlour by [Em]candlelight
[A]Wit[D]h the[A]e I will wai[G]t this nig[D]ht
[G]Chase away [D]shadows [Em]and stay
'til the morn[A]ing is [D]nigh"
But the [Bm]journey of love is a [F#m]rocky road
And [G]comes with [D]many [A]a spill
He [Bm]wooed and pursued
her for [G]more than a year
And [D]then she said I [A]will
He [G]made her a gift [D]of a candlestick
[A]On their wedding [Bm]day
And [G]written in silver [D]around in the words,
that [A]did say
[D]"Take [A]me in your [G]hands to[D]night
[G]Come through the [D]parlour by [Em]candlelight
[A]Wit[D]h the[A]e I will wai[G]t this nig[D]ht
[G]Chase away [D]shadows and [Em]stay 'til [A]the morn
ing is [D]nigh"[Bm][F#m][G][D][Em][D][A][D]
That [Bm]candlestick was so much
[F#m]loved and admired
But hun[G]dreds [D]of years would go [A]by
'Twas [Bm]there in an old Curios[G]ity shop
[D]I found it, forgotten by [A]time
[G]Blackened with age [D]but soon to shine
[A]Beauty from long [Bm]ago
And I [G]often consider all [D]those
who have held it [A]be fore
[D]"Take [A]me in your [G]hands to[D]night
[G]Come through the [D]parlour by [Em]candlelight
[A]Wit[D]h the[A]e I will wai[G]t this nig[D]ht
[G]Chase away [D]shadows [Em]and stay 'til
[A]the morning is [D]nigh[A]
[D]"Take [A]me in your [G]hands to[D]night
[G]Come through the [D]parlour by [Em]candlelight
[A]Wit[D]h the[A]e I will wai[G]t this nig[D]ht
[G]Chase away [D]shadows [Em]and stay 'til
[A]the morning is [D]nigh[A][G][D]
[G]Chase away [D]shadows [Em]and stay
'til the [A]morning is nigh"
