Bm
Just another night in new york city
Snow comes down looks real pretty
G7
Don't know how but suddenly there you are
With jelly roll morton playin' for the bar
Bm
Inside here, lights are low
But each song has it's own glow
G7
As he floats them through that smokey air
You just can't believe he's really there
[Chorus] 1
A
How old is he?
F#7/A#
Cannot say
Bm Bm/D
But claims he taught Cab Calloway
Em7 F#7 Bm
And on this night I somehow believe him
A F#7/A#
Knows every song that christmas got
Bm Bm/D
Even ones my brain has dropped
Em7
Just him and that old fir tree
F#aug F#
All lit up this night
Bm
Electric blue
[Verse] 2
Bm
Just another night in new york city
Snow comes down looks real pretty
G7
Can't believe but suddenly there you are
Talking with strangers sittin' cross the bar
Bm
Suddenly, all are laughin'
This night's smart, always craftin'
G7
Building bridges nearly everywhere
Hits a wall, it just builds a stairs
[Chorus] 2
A F#7/A#
Outside the colored lights they bleed
Bm Bm/D
For snow is white and colors need
Em7 F#7 Bm
As it just comes down like pure salvation
A F#7/A#
It offers all it's amnesty
Bm Bm/D
And makes your neighbor different see
Em7
By the light of that fir tree
F#aug
And this old bar
F# Bm
Electrified in blue
[Bridge]
I gotta drop dead simple
Childhood view of salvation
Perhaps that's how it was always meant to be
And the more I add up all this information
seems it all comes down in the end to you and me
And you look around till you find a phone
Then you call your mom and everyone at home
And the bar looks on and they start to cheer
When you talk to folks you haven't seen in years
And the snow comes down
And the children play
And they pray to God
It never goes away
And a childhood prayer
Should never be denied
As the night rolls on
Till it's carolized
Carolized
Carolized
Carolized
Carolized
[Chorus]3
A
And on this tree
F#7/A#
The lights are done
Bm Bm/D
But the colors here are down one
Em7 F#7 Bm
I guess it kind of fits the situation
A F#7/A#
Ornaments still shining bright
Bm Bm/D
Watch them glitter in the light
Em7
Just this old fir tree and me
F#aug F#
All lit up this night
Bm
Electric blue
