Verse 3
(D major) A dime across the counter then
A shy (G major) hello, a brand (D major) new friend
A walk along the street in the wintry (A major) weather
A (G major) yellow light, an (A major) open door
And a (D major) welcome friend,
there's (G major) room for more
And (D major) then they're standing
(A major) there inside to (D major) gether
Verse 4
He said I've (A major) heard that tune
before somewhere
But I (G major) can't remember when (D major)
(A major) Was it on some other friendly shore
Or did I (G major) hear it on the wind (B minor)
(D major) Was it written on the sky (A major) above
I think I (G major) heard it from someone (D major) I loved
But I (G major) never heard it sound (A major) so sweet (D major) since

Verse 5
(D major) Now his feet begin to tap
A little (G major) boy says I'll (D major) take your hat
He's caught up in the magic of her smile (A major)
And (G major) leap the heart in (A major) side him went
And off (D major) across the floor (G major) he sent
His (D major) clumsy body (A major) graceful as a child (D major)
Verse 6
He said there's (A major) magic in
the fiddler's arm
There's (G major) magic in this town (D major)
There's (A major) magic in the dancers' feet
And the (G major) way they put them down (B minor)
(D major) People smilin' (A major) everywhere
(G major) Boots and ribbons, (D major) locks of hair
And (G major) laughter and old blue (A major) suits and easter
(D major) gowns

Verse 7
Now the (D major) sailors' gone, the room is bare
The (G major) old piano set (D major) tin' there
Someone's hat's left
hanging on the rack (A major)
And (G major) empty chairs, the (A major) wooden floor
That (D major) feels the touch
of shoes (G major) no more
(D major) Awaitin' for the dan (A major) cers
to come (D major) back
Verse 8
And the (A major) fiddle's in the closet
Of some (G major) daughter of the town (D major)
The strings (A major) are broke and the
bow is gone
And the (G major) cover's buttoned down (B minor)
But some (D major) times on Decem
(A major) ber nights
When the (G major) air is cold and the
(D major) wind is right
There's a (G major) melody that (A major) passes
through this (D major) town

Words (D major) (G major) and Music by (D major) David (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) Mallett
