Affair On 8th Avenue chords by Gordon Lightfoot

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

E minor 7Em7         D MajorD       A minorAm     B minorBm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the
Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
down side of town
  E minor 7Em7     D MajorD    A minorAm     B minorBm
And it lingered on long after she'd gone
Cmaj7Cmaj7       D MajorD
  I remember it well
    G+G       D MajorD      C majorC     D MajorD
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
    G+G    E minorEm    A minorAm    FF  D MajorD
And we played a game only she could win

Verse 2:

  E minor 7Em7     D MajorD     A minorAm   B minorBm
Her long flowing hair came softly undone
    Cmaj7Cmaj7  D MajorD
And it lay all around
  E minor 7Em7      D MajorD     A minorAm      B minorBm
And she brushed it down as I stood by her side
    Cmaj7Cmaj7     D MajorD
In the warmth of her love
    G+G     D MajorD      C majorC     D MajorD
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
    G+G        E minorEm     A minorAm      FF  D MajorD
And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night
    G+G     D MajorD      C majorC    D MajorD
And she told me a riddle I'll never forget
   G+G       E minorEm     A minorAm     FF  D MajorD
Then left with the answer I've never found yet

Verse 3:

  E minor 7Em7    D MajorD     A minorAm     B minorBm
How long, said she, can a moment like this
 Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
Belong to someone?
    E minor 7Em7      D MajorD       A minorAm     B minorBm
What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die
Cmaj7Cmaj7       D MajorD
We must almost be born?
  G+G         D MajorD    C majorC     D MajorD
So if you should ask me what secrets I hide
     G+G     E minorEm      A minorAm   FF   D MajorD
That I'm only your lover, don't make me decide

Verse 4:

E minor 7Em7         D MajorD       A minorAm     B minorBm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the
Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
down side of town
  E minor 7Em7     D MajorD    A minorAm     B minorBm
And it lingered on long after she'd gone
Cmaj7Cmaj7       D MajorD
  I remember it well
    G+G       D MajorD      C majorC     D MajorD
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
G+G       E minorEm     A minorAm    FF  D MajorD
And we played a game only she could win
    G+G     D MajorD      C majorC     D MajorD
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
    G+G        E minorEm     A minorAm      FF  D MajorD
And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night
