Christmas Time in the City
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Capo 3
[Intro]
G D/F# A/D D
[Verse 1]
G D/F# A D
Well I walked to town in the pouring rain
G A/D D
Paid my fare and I rode that train
G A D
To the station under the avenue
G/D D
Hit the air at the stroke of noon
G D/F# A D
At the cross streets where I staked my claim
G G/D A D
I played in tune with the winter rain
G A D
Collecting dimes and dollar bills
G G/D A D
While the noisy traffic played the fills
[Refrain]
G D/F# A
And its Christmas time in the city
G D/F# A
When the air is filled with cheer
G D/F# A D G
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year
G D/F# A/D D
[Verse 2]
G D/F# A D
Well the vendors huddled and the taxis honked
G A/D D
As I played for change beneath the neon clock
G A D
I was dressed up looking like a Christmas tree
G/D D
Blinking down on that busy street
G D/F# A D
When the crowd thinned out and the rain had quit
G G/D A D
And my fingers felt cold and stiff
G A D
I took their money and I closed my case
G G/D A D
And I headed back towards home again
