The Old Lamplighter chords by Jim Ed Brown

C           F              C
He made the night a little brighter

    E7            Am
Wherever he would go

    F        C                D7   G7
The old lamp lighter  of long long ago

          F                C
His snowy hair was so much whiter

  E7               Am       F        C
Beneath the candle glow the old lamp lighter

        G7   C
Of long long ago

You'd hear the patter of his feet


As he came toddling down the street


His smile would hide a lonely heart you see

              F
If there were sweethearts in the park


He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark

                                 G7
Remembering the days that used to be

       C
For he recalled when things were new


He loved someone who loved him too

                   G7       C
Who walks with him alone in memories


            F              C
He made the night a little brighter

    E7            Am
Wherever he would go

    F        C               G7   C
The old lamp lighter of long long ago



Now if you look up in the sky


You'll understand the reason why


The little stars at night are all aglow

              F
He turns them on when night is near


He turns them off when dawn is here

                                 G7
The little man who lived so long ago


            F              C
He made the night a little brighter

    E7            Am
Wherever he would go

    F        C               G7   C
The old lamp lighter of long long ago
