Chris De Burgh (with Elissa) - Lebanese Night


INTRO: A minorAm


It was late in a Lebanese restaurant
E minorEm   A minorAm
In the heat of a Lebanese night
E minorEm    A minorAm
There was dancing, people were singing
E minorEm    A minorAm
She came in from the garden outside
    G+G
In her eyes (Bi Ouyoona)
     A minorAm
I saw the stars (Bshouf E' Njoom)
   FF              E7E7 E MajorE
And I felt something happen in my heart (Uh...)

    A minorAm
Then I knew I was going to meet her
E minorEm   A minorAm
In the heat of a Lebanese night
E minorEm   A minorAm
And the girl inside the woman
E minorEm    A minorAm
Who came over to sit by my side
       G+G
And when she smiled
        A minorAm
The whole world stopped (Salam)
    FF              G+G
It was then I heard the echoes of a child


CHORUS:
      C majorC           G+G     DmDm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
    A minorAm      C majorC      G+G
And the sound of the guns in the night
      C majorC              G+G      DmDm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
     A minorAm       C majorC       G+G   FF
From the hell that came down from the sky?
   G+G    A minorAm  FF
On a Lebanese night
       A minorAm
On a Lebanese night

We went down to the edge of the water
E minorEm   A minorAm
By the light of a Lebanese dawn
E minorEm   A minorAm
And she told me all the stories
E minorEm   A minorAm
Of her beautiful land in the war
        G+G
Her tears fell down
       A minorAm
The sun came up
   FF                G+G
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes


CHORUS:
      C majorC                G+G       DmDm
Ghammadt Ouyounak 'a Ghinniyyi Wa Sawt Bi 'llayl shou khifan
      A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
W' rahh bit dal hayk layliyi init sihran
      C majorC             G+G      DmDm
Shi marra mshit bi hal mada, w' marra hrabt aw min hada
     A minorAm    C majorC         G+G   FF
La indak jayi 'al ghada w' kinit ta'ban
   G+G    A minorAm  FF
On a Lebanese night
   G+G    A minorAm
On a Lebanese night


BRIDGE:
           G+G
Ana Ma 'areft illa makan
      DmDm       A minorAm
Ma rahh bi fil minnou 'ssalam
             E minorEm
Fi hadaya ktar min ywazze'on
       DmDm        A minorAm
Mish killi el oulad fi hdiyyi ilon
          G+G
Uh...  (Uh...)


CHORUS:
      C majorC           G+G     DmDm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
    A minorAm      C majorC      G+G
And the sound of the guns in the night
      C majorC              G+G      DmDm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
     A minorAm       C majorC       G+G   FF
From the hell that came down from the sky?
   G+G    A minorAm  FF
On a Lebanese night

On a Lebanese night

On a Lebanese night
