Chords for Sydney Carton - I Can't Recall (A Tale of Two Cities - In Concert)

[G] Mr.
Carton!
_ Merry Christmas!
Oh, Merry Christmas, Miss Burnett!
Miss Pross?
[C] _
Mr.
Lorry and Mr.
Darnay are visiting tonight.
Won't you [F] come and join?
Oh, that's [E] very kind of you, but [A] I'd, uh, prefer not to [Dm] come tonight.
[C] But it's Christmas Eve!
No one should be alone on Christmas Eve.
Well, the days and nights all look pretty much the [Em] same to me, Miss Burnett.
I'm not [C] surprised.
_ You know, we're [Gb] home, and it's time everybody else went home.
If they have [C] one.
It will only be a minute, Miss Pross.
[D] Well, you make sure it is only just a minute.
_ And tell him to button [C] up his coat, for goodness sake.
Otherwise [D] he'll catch a cold and spread plague all over the neighborhood.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ Merry Christmas, Miss Pross!
[D] _ Merry Christmas yourself! _
_ _ [G] _ _ You know, I think she likes me.
_ _ Though she does not believe that I was in church tonight.
She just didn't see you there.
After all, you said you were in the back.
[Cm] No, Miss Burnett, the church hasn't been built that goes that far back. _ _
I was actually in a tavern drinking. _ _ _
It's not our business where you were, Mr.
Carton.
Besides, no one could ever judge you as harshly as you judge yourself.
Well, I know myself.
We can't always be at our best.
And I meant less than my best on a fairly regular basis.
And there's something to be said for consistency.
_ _ _ Do you always see the best in people?
_ Do you always see the worst?
Not at this moment.
Then there's hope for you yet, Mr.
Carton.
I knew it. _
Lucy!
_ _ Come into the house this instant!
You have guests!
_ Please, come inside.
Not tonight, Miss Burnett.
Not like this. _
I understand.
_ _ _ So you'll come tomorrow instead.
Mr.
Darnay and Mr.
Lorry are coming too.
No, Miss Burnett!
Lucy, please.
_ [Gm] You'll join us for Christmas supper tomorrow.
No arguments.
We've got to [G] fatten you up, Mr.
Carton.
You're not eating enough. _ _ _
_ _ _ Good night. _ _
_ _ _ _ And Merry Christmas. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ What was that? _ _
And _ _ _ _ _ _ where did all those stars come from? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Carton, you are drunk, aren't you? _ _ _ _ _
_ I can't recall _
[C] A _ night so clear _
_ _ The heavens seem an inch away
_ Not cold and empty [F] like before _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ A night as sweet as [Em] this tonight
I can't [C] recall, I can't recall
_ _ [G] The taste of wine
_ [Am]
Have I been drinking down [C] my days
Of crippled or [F] rich content to grow? _
[Em] _ _ _ If I [F] had been [D] that man [G] right now
I can't [Db] recall, I can't recall
[Fm] My sense of shame
[Bbm] Was failure born inside my [Db] heart
Or did the many [Gb] years of _ waste
[Fm] Leave it there?
Did [Eb] I just feel it _ [Gb] disappear?
[Ab] _
Because you [Bb] tell _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] The _ _ choice [Ab] is _ mine _
[Fm] _ [Db] Tomorrow's at [Gb] my feet
[F] All _
_ [Ebm] _ yesterday's _ _ [B] a haze
[Abm] I [Bbm] pray that _ I will not [Eb] repeat _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Bb] I _ [Db] _ _ _
[D] _ _ can't recall
_ [A] A night so clear
[Bm] _ The heavens seem an [D] inch away
And not [G] unfriendly after _ all [Gbm] After all
If [Em] life was ever [E] quite [Gm] this sweet
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
I can't _ recall
