Everything But the Girl (também conhecido pela abreviação EBTG) é uma banda inglesa formada pelo casal Tracey Thorn - vocalista dona de um vocal ímpar - e pelo multiinstrumentista Ben Watt em 1982 em Hull, Reino Unido. Seus dois dos seus maiores sucessos são Missing e Wrong. Inicialmente eles eram considerados uma banda de jazz light, no começo dos anos 80, tornou-se a vanguarda na fusão entre pop e eletrônica na década seguinte. Eles têm uma grande influência da bossa nova.

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.

Intro BF#E
BF# And I see forest Its the 25th of December
E And my old man plays the piano for Christmas
BF#E He plays the piano for Christmas
BF# And we're all there, all the Aunties and Uncles
E And the angel on top of the tree
BF#E Up there on top of the tree
BF#E And I never, no I never ever realised
BF#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#mEB C#mEB C#mE (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 BF#E And I never, no I never ever realised
