She moved through the fair with a smile in her eyes
  G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA
So pure and graceful and free
   B minorBm           G+G
And caught the attention of one who was there
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
A majorA Candlestick-maker, he
 G+G           D MajorD
Handsome and young, a craftsman fine
 A augmentedA          B minorBm
Smitten by her that day
   G+G            D MajorD            Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And so then he wrote down a poem for her that would say

 D MajorD  A augmentedA     G+G    D MajorD
"Take me in your hands tonight
 G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm  A augmentedA
Come through the parlour by candlelight
 D MajorD   A augmentedA     G+G     D MajorD
With thee I will wait this night
 G+G     D MajorD      E minorEm      A augmentedA     D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh"

     B minorBm          F# minorF#m
But the journey of love is a rocky road
   G+G     D MajorD    A augmentedA
And comes with many a spill
  B minorBm            G+G
He wooed and pursued her for more than a year
   D MajorD       A augmentedA
And then she said I will
  G+G          D MajorD
He made her a gift of a candlestick
A augmentedA         B minorBm
On their wedding day
   G+G         D MajorD              Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And written in silver around in the words, that did say

 D MajorD  A augmentedA     G+G    D MajorD
"Take me in your hands tonight
 G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm  A augmentedA
Come through the parlour by candlelight
 D MajorD   A augmentedA     G+G     D MajorD
With thee I will wait this night
 G+G     D MajorD      E minorEm      A augmentedA     D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh"

   B minorBm           F# minorF#m
That candlestick was so much loved and admired
   G+G      D MajorD       A augmentedA
But hundreds of years would go by
    B minorBm        G+G
'Twas there in an old Curiosity shop
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
I found it, forgotten by time
 G+G           D MajorD
Blackened with age but soon to shine
 A augmentedA         B minorBm
Beauty from long ago
   G+G          D MajorD            Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And I often consider all those who have held it before

 D MajorD  A augmentedA     G+G    D MajorD
"Take me in your hands tonight
 G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm  A augmentedA
Come through the parlour by candlelight
 D MajorD   A augmentedA     G+G     D MajorD
With thee I will wait this night
 G+G     D MajorD      E minorEm      A augmentedA     D MajorD  A augmentedA
Chase away shadows and stay 'til the morning is nigh

 D MajorD  A augmentedA     G+G    D MajorD
"Take me in your hands tonight
 G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm  A augmentedA
Come through the parlour by candlelight
