The Candlestick Chris de Burgh
Intro:
[D] [A] [G] [D] [Em] [D] [Em] [A]
[D] [A] [G] [D] [Em] [F#m] [G] [A] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
She m[Bm]oved through the fair with a sm[F#m]ile in her eyes
So p[G]ure and gr[D]aceful and fr[A]ee
And c[Bm]aught the attention of [G]one who was there
A C[D]andlestick-maker, h[A]e
H[G]andsome and young, a cr[D]aftsman fine
Sm[A]itten by her that da[Bm]y
And s[G]o then he wrote down a p[D]oem for her that would s[Asus4]ay[A]
"T[D]ake m[A]e in your h[G]ands ton[D]ight
C[G]ome through the p[D]arlour by c[Em]andlel[A]ight
W[D]ith th[A]ee I will w[G]ait this n[D]ight
Ch[G]ase away sh[D]adows and st[Em]ay 'til the m[A]orning is n[D]igh[Dsus2]"[D]
But the j[Bm]ourney of love is a r[F#m]ocky road
And c[G]omes with m[D]any a sp[A]ill
He w[Bm]ooed and pursued her for m[G]ore than a year
And th[D]en she said I w[A]ill
He m[G]ade her a gift of a c[D]andlestick
[A]On their wedding d[Bm]ay
And wr[G]itten in silver ar[D]ound in the words, that did s[Asus4]ay[A]
"T[D]ake m[A]e in your h[G]ands ton[D]ight
C[G]ome through the p[D]arlour by c[Em]andlel[A]ight
W[D]ith th[A]ee I will w[G]ait this n[D]ight
Ch[G]ase away sh[D]adows and st[Em]ay 'til the m[A]orning is n[D]igh[Dsus2]"[D]
[Bm] [F#m] [G] [D] [Bm] [Em] [D] [Asus4] [A] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
That c[Bm]andlestick was so much l[F#m]oved and admired
But h[G]undreds of y[D]ears would go b[A]y
'Twas th[Bm]ere in an old Curi[G]osity shop
I f[D]ound it, forgotten by t[A]ime
Bl[G]ackened with age but s[D]oon to shine
B[A]eauty from long ag[Bm]o
And I [G]often consider all th[D]ose who have held it bef[Asus4]ore[A]
"T[D]ake m[A]e in your h[G]ands ton[D]ight
C[G]ome through the p[D]arlour by c[Em]andlel[A]ight
W[D]ith th[A]ee I will w[G]ait this n[D]ight
Ch[G]ase away sh[D]adows and st[Em]ay 'til the m[A]orning is n[D]igh[A]
"T[D]ake m[A]e in your h[G]ands ton[D]ight
C[G]ome through the p[D]arlour by c[Em]andlel[A]ight
W[D]ith th[A]ee I will w[G]ait this n[D]ight
Ch[G]ase away sh[D]adows and st[Em]ay 'til the m[A]orning is n[D]igh[A] [G] [D]
Ch[G]ase away sh[D]adows and st[Em]ay 'til the m[A]orning is n[D]igh"
