Affair On 8th Avenue chords by Gordon Lightfoot
Guitar chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
Em7 D Am Bm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the
Cmaj7 D
down side of town
Em7 D Am Bm
And it lingered on long after she'd gone
Cmaj7 D
I remember it well
G D C D
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
G Em Am F D
And we played a game only she could win
Verse 2:
Em7 D Am Bm
Her long flowing hair came softly undone
Cmaj7 D
And it lay all around
Em7 D Am Bm
And she brushed it down as I stood by her side
Cmaj7 D
In the warmth of her love
G D C D
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
G Em Am F D
And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night
G D C D
And she told me a riddle I'll never forget
G Em Am F D
Then left with the answer I've never found yet
Verse 3:
Em7 D Am Bm
How long, said she, can a moment like this
Cmaj7 D
Belong to someone?
Em7 D Am Bm
What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die
Cmaj7 D
We must almost be born?
G D C D
So if you should ask me what secrets I hide
G Em Am F D
That I'm only your lover, don't make me decide
Verse 4:
Em7 D Am Bm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the
Cmaj7 D
down side of town
Em7 D Am Bm
And it lingered on long after she'd gone
Cmaj7 D
I remember it well
G D C D
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
G Em Am F D
And we played a game only she could win
G D C D
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
G Em Am F D
And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night Published:
