G A kindly word for friends and
Cmaj7 strangers almost anyone she meets
G A lonely house at the end of the
Cmaj7 road full of silly memories
Bm7 C And when the locals laugh at her
Am D7 she turns a blind eye to it all
G She sees the irony and so what
Cmaj7 no-one really meant it
G A grey old lady, touched and
Cmaj7 lonesome, just a little bit eccentric
Bm7 C But no-one sees the secrets
Am D7 hidden in a diary stowed beneath the stairs [Bridge 1]
G And she sat that night in her
Cmaj7 chair by the fire hearing his violin
D Tears appeared and burned her
C G cheeks as he caressed every string
Em As the dawn arrives to hurt her
Am eyes the coals are growing dim
D And when the room grows cold she
C G still recalls every inch of him. G-Em pause G Cmaj7 X2
G Germaine was a leggy lady, barely
Cmaj7 old enough to know how
G To hold the right knife at the
Cmaj7 table it was difficult but somehow
Bm7 C She caught the eye of an evening
Am pirate and he sailed his way into
D7 her heart
G Her Valentino played violin till
Cmaj7 it was well into the night

G Enjoyed her evening oh so much
Cmaj7 although she never ate a bite
Bm7 Em So Cinderella lost her slipper to
Am D7 a Lilting, Latin Gigolo. [Bridge 2]
Em And he stood that night by the
Am tableside playing his violin
D Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes
C G as he caressed every string
Em As the day appeared with the tables
Am cleared, she was still there listening
D And she rose to go with her eyes
C still closed, but she paused to
G Em glance at him.
Am There was no-one there but her and
D as she sadly took her fur, she heard... [Interlude] G D Am D x2 [Verse]
G Em Am A little weary eyed, but smiling
C Em D she wandered home...Alone.
G Cmaj7 X2
G Then every evening she came back
Cmaj7 to her table by the window
G An anxious lady looking at the man
Cmaj7 who lit her candle
Bm7 C And as the waitresses took their
Am coats she’d stand and leave to call
D7 a cab D#maj7 Bm7 x4 [Bridge 3]
D#maj7 They closed The Ritz at the end of
Bm7 the war they had boards on every door
C#maj7 With peeling paint and ceilings
G#m7 cracks and not a carpet for the floor
Gm7 Cm7 Some seen a candle flicker
Fm7 Bb through and old and broken window pane [Otro]
Em Now she sits that night in her
Am chair by the fire hearing his violin
D Tears appear and burned her cheeks
C G Em as he caresses every string
Em As the dawn arrives to hurt her
Am eyes the coals are growing dim
D And when the room grows cold she
C G still recalls every inch of him.
Em When he stood that night by the
Am tableside playing his violin
D Tears arrived in Germaine's eyes
C G as he caressed every string
Em As the day appeared with the tables
Am cleared, she was still there listening
D And she rose to go with her eyes
C still closed, but she paused to
G glance at him.
G Em Am A little weary eyed, but smiling
C G D she wandered home...Alone.
