Christmas Day Dido
1. A young gentleman[A] came riding past,
on a snow-bl[E]ue winter's day.
He aske[A]d to drink by our fire
and I was pleased to[E] let him stay.
He drank [A]there quietly for a while,
and then he turned an[E]d said to me :
"Your eyes are green like su[A]mmer grass, [E]
your lips are red, lik[A]e a fresh cut rose. [E]
Your hair is soft, li[A]ke an Irish stream, [E]
and your voice is[A] filled with sweet beauty." [E]
And the last wo[D]rds I heard him say
- - - - - - - - - - - A D E - A
were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
2. And the night w[A]ill come, but I won't sleep,
as I watc[E]h the stars that lead him.
I ca[A]nnot place where he is,
but stil[E]l my heart goes with him,
I'm sav[A]ing all my Sunday clothes
for the day t[E]hat I'll be leaving.
Fat[A]her knows, my sister knows[E],
and my friends, [A]they're happy for me. [E]
And the priest he says, you sh[A]ould thank God, [E]
for the bless[A]ing, of such beauty. [E]
And the last wo[D]rds I heard him say
- - - - - - - - - - - A D E - A - D
were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
" I shall return,[A] for you, my [D]love, on C[E]hristmas Day. [-] [A]
A - E A - E A - E A - E (...)
And the last w[D]ords I heard him say,
were the last [F#m]words I ever [E] he[-]ar[B7]d him sa...y. [-] [E]
" I shall return,[A] for you, my [D]love, on C[E]hristmas Day.
I swear[A], I will [D]return,[E] on Christmas Day.
Ye[A]s, I shall [D]return,[E] on Christmas Day.
I shal[A]l retur[D]n, for you, [E]on Christmas Day.
My love[A], I will [D]return,[E] on Christmas Day.
I shal[A]l retur[D]n, for you, [E]on Christmas Day....."
