One of Ralph's best and I would say one of the greatest songs of all time.
Magic captured within 3 minutes.
[Verse 1]
Gm Dm
The bar is dressed for Christmas with coloured lights
Bb Eb Ebm
Renee the landlady looks so nice tonight
Bb C Bb C
And the lights flickering, like her smile, and she still wears her hair
F
In the 1940s style, she prefers it that way
Bb Am
Though it's turned from red to grey
[Chorus]
Dm Bb A7
All things change, the only one who looks the same
Dm
Is the fairy on the Christmas tree
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm
Big Eddie and his songs are growing old
Bb
The piano player blames his fingers
Eb Ebm Bb C Bb
Says they're freezing cold, and the tinsel hardly shines
C
On the faded paper chains that limply hang in lines
F Bb Am
With the laughter in the air that is breathed and that is shared
[Chorus]
Dm Bb A7
But people change, the only one who stays the same
Dm
Is the fairy on the Christmas tree
[Bridge]
G Em G Em
Outside by the wall where snails have crawled
G Em
Leaving tinsel trails shining in the moonlight
D Am Adim Em
Pale Lovers promising nothing's ever gonna change
C A
The things they share, breathing promises
A7 Dm
Of cloudy vapour disappearing in the frosty Christmas air
[Instrumental]
