A shock of strawberry blonde

Download the sheet music.

Bm7 Bbdim Am69 D7
The kitchen was crowded at the party that night
GM7 C7
I was talking to a guy
Bm7 E7 A7
With a Santa hat on
Bm7 Bbdim
When framed in the doorway,
Am69 D7
Orange sweater, blue eyes,
Emy A7 DM7 G#m7 C#7(b13)
Came a shock of strawberry blonde.
F#m7 B7(b13)
The feel of her next to me at the piano!
Em11 A7
The honey in her voice as we sang Christmas songs!
C7 Bm7 Bbdim Am69 D7
She struck me with lightning that night in December;
Em7 A7 F#m7(b5) B7alt.
A shock of strawberry blonde.
Em7 A7 DM7
A shock of strawberry blonde.


Bm7 Bbdim Am69 D7
As the party raged on we kept finding each other:
GM7 C7 Bm7 E7 A7
The back porch, the stairwell, the hallway: I was drawn
Bm7 Bbdim Am69 D7
To this angel in rain boots, who caught me by surprise:
Emy A7 DM7 G#m7 C#7(b13)
This shock of strawberry blonde.
F#m7 B7(b13)
She told me she was leaving. She had a flight in the morning.
Em11 A7
By the time she returned I’d already be gone.
C7 Bm7 Bbdim Am69 D7
And so we sat down at the piano together
Em7 A7 F#m7(b5) B7alt.
To pass our last moments in song.
Em7 A7 DM7
Goodbye, sweet strawberry blonde.
