City of Lights - Runrig.

Capo on 3rd fret.

INTRO:

G   G   C   COhhhhhhh

G   G   C   COhhhhhhh



    GI arrived in the city of lights
          GEnchanted ballrooms where I lost my life
               CI've closed my eyes
                    GOn your fairground smile
        GSeedy heroes and silver tills
         G   Sinking suns on a sea of thrills
            CI place my bets
                          GTrading with stranger in silhouette



           AmThere's a sadness
           EmThere's a joy
           CThere's a place
           G                    D7There's a song that will never die
  GForever



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



           AmThere's a sadness
           EmThere's a joy
           CThere's a place
           G                    D7There's a song that will never die
          AmAnother night
         EmIn this town
          CHolds me close
           G                     D7Holds me close to the searchlight
  GForever


G   G   C   COhhhhhhh

(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:
  G          EmForever and ever
     C         DAnd ever, and ever and ever.

(Repeat)
