Could you put your light on, please (video)

G ~

G Am

Could you put your light on, please, it's kind of dark tonight,

D7 C G

and I feel a little lonely, yes, I need a little light.

G Am

Could you put your light on, please, let me hear a friendly sound !

D7 C G

I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.

D Em

1. She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer,

F C G

she went sliding through my questions, glidin' 'round the answers.

D Em

Whatever it was, she knew it was holy,

F C G

and each time I tried to hold her, a smile come sad and slowly.

D

She said, "No one knows me."

+ CHORUS

D Em

2. She had a dream, I had my typewriter,

F

while I was hacking out such a heavy world,

C G

she was weaving one much lighter.

D Em

But I never knew just how much it cost her,

F

but each time I slept beside her

C G D

somethin' turned and tossed her, and it did 'till I lost her.

+ C ~

C

+ Oh, bright times were brighter

Dm

than they'd ever been before, I tell you,

C Dm D# - D

night times were lighter, but they'll never, never be, no mo.......re.

+ CHORUS (2x) ...

(Harry Chapin)
