Music Box Blues

  Bb
Remember last Christmas Eve
Dm
When we sat next to our first tree
Gm
Ornaments reflected light
Eb
Of a candle in the night

Bb
And I gave you a music box
Dm
Back then that seemed like so much
Gm
We watched it go round and round
Eb
As the melodies unwound



Bb
But all these things are now long 
gone
Eb            F             Bb
And not to be wished upon again



        Eb    Dm   Cm7       Bb
But the music box continues to turn
         Eb           Dm   Cm7   
The candle in the window 
    Bb
continues to burn
   Eb    Dm               Cm7    
But I know they're just memories
   Bb

Continues after the ad
Eb              Dm  Cm7         
Like Christmas past and 
    Bb    F
you....... and me, yeah



Bb
Remember that old fireplace
Dm
That held the room in warm embrace
Gm
And as we watched for Christmas 
ghosts
   Eb
The fire held the shadows close

Bb
But now upon that Christmas scene
Dm
The candle wax of melted dreams
Gm
And ornaments of shattered glass
Eb
Now belonging to the past



Bb
But all these things are now long 
gone
Eb             F            Bb
And not to be wished upon again



        Eb    Dm   Cm7       Bb
But the music box continues to turn
         Eb           Dm   Cm7   
The candle in the window 
    Bb
continues to burn
   Eb    Dm               Cm7    
But I know they're just memories
   Bb

Eb              Dm  Cm7         
Like Christmas past and 
    Bb
you....... and me, yeah

Dm
I miss you baby
Oh yes, I do
              Gm
And it's been far too long
         Eb
Since I last laid eyes on you


          Bb
I got the lights upon the Christmas 
tree (The candles burning)
           Dm
I got the candle lit for you to see 
(You know I'm gonna wait)
      Gm
And beside this window I will wait 
(The clock keeps turning)
      Eb
For inside this night it's not too 
late (But I know it's not,I know 
it's not too late...)



I got the lights upon the Christmas 
tree
I got the candle lit for you to see
And beside this window I will wait
For inside this night
I know it's not too late
