On a Christmas
Bm
cake day one Friday in August
G
D
In a bookshop in Charing Cross Road
G
Em
I first set eyes on a girl and at
A
once I did know
D
She had eyes like a poet
Bm
and hair like a rainbow
G
Gm
D
Re flecting the lights that did glow
G
And the sadness she kept
Em
in her eyes
A
Struck my senses a blow
Verse 2
D
And so as by chance at the
Bm
touch of a glance
G
Gm
D
We could find ourselves out in the road
G
With no crush of time to defeat
Em
A
us and no place to go
D
And I couldn't say how but the
Bm
coffee bar crowd
G
Had appeared through the silence
Gm
D
that broke
G
And she said, Oh my father's
Em
A
a judge in St Albans you know
D
Oh well, then perhaps I could
Bm
help you
G
You know that St. Albans
Gm
D
is miles away
G
And I've got a room in Swiss
Em
A
Cottage in which you could stay
D
She laughed, Oh I couldn't do that,
Bm
for I've got
G

To be up in the morning you see

So I rang up to find out the first

With spaghetti,

two forks and a plate
G

She said, Oh I really would like

to be free and escape
D
Oh well if it's like that

You don't have to go back
G
And you're perfectly

D
welcome to stay
G
But I've not finished school yet

She said as she got into bed

Verse 4
D
Bm
And so as she slept and the pure
morning crept
G
Gm
D
Through the windows to take her away
G
Em
I thought you can't make people be
A
what you want them to be
D
I could see my self nailed
Bm
to a dormitory tale
G
Gm
D
Of a holiday night's escapade
G
Em
And just yesterday she had seemed
A
like a woman to me
Verse 5
D
And so like a child with the
Bm
sleep in her eyes
G
Gm
D
Where the sadness of age had once been
G
Em
She left on the train with a see
A
you again and a smile
D
And I couldn't say what
Bm
I had won or I lost
G
Gm
D
Or even just what I had seen
G
Em
But when I'm alone I just think
