Subject: CRD Everything But the Girl "25th of December"

Here's "25th of December" by the vastly underrated duo of
Everything But the Girl off their "Amplified Heart" CD.  Only a
handful of chords but a beautiful song.  On the B  and F# I have
written some chords next to them also - sometimes Ben uses these
instead of the full bar.  Also, try adding on an F# on the high E
string on the E chord.  Listen to the song to get the phrasing
right - sometimes he sings fast and overruns the melody.

Chords  B   799877   799800
        F#  244322   244300
        E   022100
        C#m x46600

Intro B  F#  E

          B              F#
And I see forest Its the 25th of December

       E
And my old man plays the piano for Christmas

             B                   F#   E
He plays the piano for Christmas

          B                  F#
And we're all there, all the Aunties and Uncles

        E
And the angel on top of the tree

            B                   F#  E
Up there on top of the tree

      B           F#               E
And I never, no I never ever realised

      B           F#               E
And I never, no I never ever realised

*same*
Have I enough time  Have I just enough time
To revisit, to go back, to return
To open my mouth again
And say something different this time
And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport
and you're a grown up and still unsure
And I'm thirty and I don't know nothing anymore
And I never, no I never ever realised
And I never, no I never ever realised

*solo*
C#m   E    B
C#m   E    B
C#m   E (hold)

*same as other verses*
And I'm sitting, sitting at the top of the stairs
And you're crying out by the towpath but the river
With all the swans and people walking by
And all of a sudden I'm struck with an urge to 
Unlock a door with a key thats too big for my hands
and I drop it and it falls at your feet
Come on, come on its there at your feet
      B           F#               E
And I never, no I never ever realised

E
Come on, come on its there at your feet
     
      B           F#
And I never, no I never ever realised

E
Come on, come on its there at your feet
