Intro:
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
He was stranded in some tiny town on fair Prince Edward Isle
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Awaitin' for a ship to come and find him
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A one-horse place, a friendly face, some coffee and a tiny trace
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Of fiddlin' in the distance far behind him
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
A dime across the counter then, a shy hello, a brand new friend
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
A walk along the street in the wintry weather
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A yellow light, an open door and a welcome friend, there's room for more
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And then they're standing there inside together
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
He said I've heard that tune before somewhere but I can't remember when
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Was it on some other friendly shore or did I hear it on the wind
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Was it written on the sky above, I think I heard it from someone I loved
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I never heard it sound so sweet since then
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Now his feet begin to tap, a little boy says I'll take your hat
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He's caught up in the magic of her smile
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And leap, the heart inside him went and off across the floor he sent
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
His clumsy body graceful as a child
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm, there's magic in this town
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
There's magic in the dancers' feet and the way they put them down
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
People smilin' everywhere, boots and ribbons, locks of hair
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And laughter and old blue suits and easter gowns
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Now the sailors' gone, the rooms are bare, the old piano settin' there
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Someone's hat's left hanging on the rack
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And empty chairs, the wooden floor that feels the touch of shoes no more
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Awaitin' for the dancers to come back
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And the fiddle's in the closet of some daughter of the town
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
The strings are broke and the bow is gone and the cover's buttoned down
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But sometimes on December nights when the air is cold and the wind is right
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
There's a melody that passes through this town
