City of Lights - Runrig.
Capo on 3rd fret.
INTRO:
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
I arrived in the city of lights
Enchanted ballrooms where I lost my life
I ve closed my eyes
On your fairground smile
Seedy heroes and silver tills
Sinking suns on a sea of thrills
I place my bets
Trading with stranger in silhouette
There s a sadness
There s a joy
There s a place
There s a song that will never die
Forever
VERSE TWO (same chords as before)
I drink your health, son of the earth
Passing ships in the modern death
We re all still fired
Old emotions still burn inside
On solid ground, round the mother tongue
A tower of hope, a joyful sound
You take your time
A hand of aces in a pack of lies
There s a sadness
There s a joy
There s a place
There s a song that will never die
Another night
In this town
Holds me close
Holds me close to the searchlight
Forever
Ohhhhhhh
(Repeat)
VERSE THREE
I found my song and I started to sing
Took me away on an olden wing
So far from home
Standing so lonely but not alone
In this empire of ache and rhyme
Lovers and best friends are running blind
I grasp your hand
Is this the only world I understand
(Chorus)
Outro:
Forever and ever
And ever, and ever and ever.
(Repeat)
