After Eliot - Johnny Flynn
Tuning: Downtune the low E-string to a D
No capo
DWe shared the Aexperience of Gbeing aDlive
And Dthen we Atook some Gtea
DWe finished Aup and Gall on a Dwhim
We Dtalked as Ait was Gfree
AWhen we went to gGet the bill
The Dlady looked us Aover
She Atold us, 'now you Gstay quite still
And DI'll fetch in some Aclover'
And Bmall of the Ayellow GmelancholDy
The Bmworld aAbout grew Gstark
The Bmonly Asound in aGll of the Dplace
Was the Bmsinging Aof a lGark
It sang BmHolly go lAightly Gbright as the Dday
BmFresh as the Amoon and Gstale as the hay
BmCold as the Awindow Gfrozen with Dfrost
BmYou never been Aseen and you Gnever ... been Dlost A G D
And lost I was for all of the time
We never shared thereafter
Closing my books and shoeing my feet
The air blew in much darker
Floor boards they've been laughing at me
The folds of my skin are frayed
I'm the oldest man I know by now
I was the youngest yesterday
What did I lose to mourn so long
A worm in the heart has tamed me
Laying to rest in a ventricle
Stirs when I take my tea
Holly go lightly bright as the day
Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay
Cold as the window frozen with frost
You never been seen and you never been lost
I saw her once and she came upon the midday
And gave me both her hands
It seemed while I was still dreaming of the waves
That she lived a while on land
Slipping through a stream of dark
The streets laid out a way
Stayed above the level
Kept my wandering heart at bay
In the sage strands a feeling in the landlord's daily dealing
There's a turn of a twisting smile
Cheap is your time when our tea don't taste so fine
How are you, it's been a while
Holly go lightly bright as the day
Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay
Cold as the window frozen with frost
You never been seen and you never been lost
Holly go lightly bright as the day
Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay
Cold as the window frozen with frost
You never been seen and you never been lost
