[Verse]
DWhat do I hear, what do I hear? BmChit-chat, and clinking glass AmCheap talk, a lady's laugh AAfter hours
DWhat do I see, what do I see? BmSome sunken hideaway AmWhere people go to play BAfter hours
[Bridge]
EmThere I'll spend the night A5 DMeeting fancy things A5 EmAt bistros and old haunts EmTrying very hard to sin
Play the following chord progression as octaves on the A/G strings, with the final A an octave higher than the initial one: A B C D E F G A [Verse]
DThen it is day, and in a way BmThe pattern's much the same AmIn spots, a matinee AEvery day
DBlend with the crowd, blend with the loud BmHypnotic ebb and flow AmUntil the day goes slowly BInto night
[Bridge]
EmSee the same old crowd A5 DAt bistros and old haunts A5 Em'Til the lights grow dim, EmThe not-so-subtle hint to be gone
A B C D E F G A [Chorus]
FThank God it's not Christmas When there is oGnly you, and nothing else to do FThank God it's not Christmas Where there's just yGou to do The rest is closed to puAblic view
[Guitar Solo] A [Verse] (play intro riff throughout rather than chords) Carolling kids, carolling kids A trifle premature In tones so rich and pure and crystalline Call for the day, the popular day It's fast approaching now But will the mood allow One dissent [Bridge]
EmIf this were Seine A5 DWe'd be very suave A5 EmBut it's just the rain EmWashing down the boulevard
A B C D E F G A [Chorus]
FSo thank God it's not Christmas When there is onGly you, and nothing else to do FThank God it's not Christmas When there's just yGou to do The rest is closed to puAblic view
[Guitar Solo] A [Piano Break] D Bm Am A [Verse]
DPopular days, popular ways BmAre for the chosen few AmNot meant for me and you AObviously
DPopular nights, popular rites BmGreat things to say and do AmThey aren't said or done by you AObviously
[Bridge]
EmIf this were Seine A5 DWe'd be very suave A5 EmBut it's just the rain EmWashing down the boulevard
