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
