Gordon Lightfoot

Capo III

D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD

D MajorD          C majorC
Rows of lights in a circle of steel,
     D MajorD          G+G
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
D MajorD      C majorC              G+G
High windows flickerin' down through the snow,
 D MajorD
A augmentedA time you know
             G+G       A augmentedA
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round,
   Cmaj7Cmaj7          D MajorD
Everybody's in step with the season

 D MajorD         C majorC
A augmentedA child is born to a welfare case,
     D MajorD             G+G
Where the rats run around like they own the place
D MajorD      C majorC            G+G
The room is chilly, the building is old,
D MajorD
That's how it goes
             G+G    A augmentedA
The doctor's found on his welfare round,
    Cmaj7Cmaj7           D MajorD
And he comes and he leaves on the double

D MajorD           C majorC
Deck The Halls was the song they played,
    D MajorD             G+G
In the flat next door where they shout all day
D MajorD      C majorC             G+G
She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone,
  D MajorD
The child is strong
             G+G    A augmentedA
A majorA week, a day, they will take it away,
     Cmaj7Cmaj7         D MajorD
For they know about all her bad habits

D MajorD G+G A augmentedA Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD

D MajorD            C majorC
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up,
    D MajorD             G+G
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup
D MajorD       C majorC            G+G
She hides her face in her hands for a while,
   D MajorD
Says look here child
              G+G      A augmentedA
Your father's pride was his means to provide,
     Cmaj7Cmaj7            D MajorD
And he's servin' three years for that reason

D MajorD          C majorC
Rows of lights in a circle of steel,
     D MajorD          G+G
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
D MajorD      C majorC              G+G
High windows flickerin' down through the snow,
 D MajorD
A augmentedA time you know
             G+G       A augmentedA
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round
   Cmaj7Cmaj7          D MajorD
Everybody's in step with the season

D MajorD G+G A augmentedA Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD D
