[Verse 1]
G G C C G G
He was stranded in some tiny town on fair Prince Edward Isle,
D D
waiting for a ship to come and find him
C C D D G G C C
A A one-horse place, a friendly face, some coffee and a tiny trace
G G D D G G
of fiddling in the distance far behind him.

[Verse 2]

G G C C G G
A A dime across the counter, then, a shy hello, a brand new friend.
D D
A A walk along the street in the wintry weather.
C C D D G G C C
A A yellow light, an open door, a welcome friend, there's room for more,
G G D D G G
And then they're standing there inside together.

[Verse 3]

D D C C G G
He said I've heard that tune before somewhere, but I can't remember when.
D D C C Em Em
Was it on some other friendly shore or did I hear it on the wind?
G G D D C C G G
Was it written on the sky above? I think I heard it from someone I love,
C C D D G G
but I never heard it sound so sweet since then

[Verse 4]
G G C C G G
Now his feet begin to tap, a little boy says I'll take your hat.
D D
He's caught up in the magic of her smile.
C C D D G G C C
And leap, the heart inside him went, and off across the floor he sent
G G D D G G
his clumsy body graceful as a child.

[Verse 5]

D D C C G G
He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm, there's magic in this town.
D D C C Em Em
There's magic in the dancers' feet and the way they put them down.
G G D D C C G G
People smiling everywhere, boots and ribbons, locks of hair,
C C D D G G
and laughter and old blue suits and Easter gowns.

[Verse 6]

G G C C G G
Now the sailor's gone, the room is bare, the old piano's sitting there,
D D
someone's hat's left hanging on the rack.
C C D D G G C C
And empty chairs, the wooden floor that feels the touch of shoes no more,
G G D D G G
awaiting for the dancers to come back.

[Verse 7]

D D C C G G
And the fiddle's in the closet of some daughter of the town.
D D C C Em Em
The strings are broke and the bow is gone and the cover's buttoned down.
G G D D C C G G
But sometimes on December nights, when the air is cold and the wind is right,
C C D D G G
There's a melody that passes through this town.

D D C C G G
And the fiddle's in the closet of some daughter of the town.
D D C C Em Em
The strings are broke and the bow is gone and the cover's buttoned down.
G G D D C C G G
But sometimes on December nights, when the air is cold and the wind is right,
C C D D G G
There's a melody that passes through this town.
