Guitar chords with lyrics
VOICE IN THE DARK ................Am7 Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba G ba ba ba ba Am7 ba ba ba ba G Ba ba ba ba ba ................Am7 Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba G ba ba ba
G A You can read right through a book of matches G But that won’t make you smart C7 You can laugh in the face of watches Fm But time will only break your heart Fm Kings reign beneath umbrellas A Hide pennies down in cellars A And money pours down and yet G No everyone gets soaking wet F When bores and bullies conspire A7 To stamp out your spark D7 Listen for… ....C A Voice In The Dark G Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon G And a wolf begins to howl in tune Dm7 I announced for all mankind ......G A boon C7 Stand aside you big baboon .........................F.......... Now I’m the a prize invention ..................Fm You’re the image of yourself ......C Forget your cares ..............A And disapproving stares D7 I’m not here to try to jump your borders G Just ask your nieces and daughters G I’m flat as sole, I’m happy as a clam C..............Am7........Dm7.........G (could also be another D#dim) But they don’t know the kind of man I am G Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal ...............C7 Now my net is overflowing .........................Fm And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing .......C I’ve got something right there ................A That you might want to hear D7 But have no fear Lend a hand Lend an ear G If your rent-money is in arrears A We’ll be striking up a symphony bandstand G Long of hair and loose of tooth C7 There’ll be pirouettes and startling handstands Fm And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth Fm........ When is said that then redundant A They gallivant in peg-leg pants Dm I‘ll be your servant ............A You’ll be my pal G I’ll be ever faithful you know I shall F There’s no fool like an old fool A Who blames it all upon his youth C When times are tough and you find you’re down .............................A Without a star to wish upon .......D7 Just listen for… ..........................G A Voice In The Dark A I was striking through a box of matches G Hoping that one would spark C7 I heard somebody calling to me F........... A voice in the dark Fm A sound both wild and gentle A Daring and confidential Dm...................... I thought there was music playing .G But it was all and only talk A When liars and bullies conspire to stamp out your spark G Fill up that empty space in your heart A Listen up, when the herald says, “Hark” C Believe in just a voice in the dark…
