Lindisfarne - When The Night Comes Down



[INTRO:] G C G D G C G D G C G D G C G D

[VERSE 1:]
G            C  G
Darkness comes down on city
        D
Another day is done
G            C
Street lights you up so pretty
    G            D
You and me can have some kind of fun

[VERSE 2:]
       G            C
But there's a light in the basement doorway
    G           D
How's about you and me stick around
    G             C
Take a chance you can have it all your way
           G       Em  D   G
If you tell me you'll stay when the night comes down


[CHORUS:]
            Em            G
'Cause the night is an ocean, never reaching the end
          Em             G
But if you got the notion, I got the money to spend
         Em           G
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
           Em  D  C      D      G
What you gotta do is stay with me when the night comes down
Em D   C D C
Say you'll be around
Em  D  C   D   G   D
When the night comes down
Em  D   C D  C
Say, let's go downtown
Em  D  C      D      G
Stay with me when the night comes down


[INTERLUDE:] G C G D G C G D G


[VERSE 3:]
           C       G
See them all coming in from streets
               D
All their stuff and money to burn
G                   C
They all know they're gonna get their business fixed
          G          D
They're gonna have fun, got nothing to learn


[VERSE 4:]
G             C
Some of them will go home lonely
G                 D
Some of them will tear each other apart
G                  C
Some of them, like me and you, have seen it all
     G       Em  D    G
Just keep dancing to the beat of their heart


[CHORUS:]
            Em            G
'Cause the night is an ocean, never reaching the end
          Em             G
But if you got the notion, I got the money to spend
         Em           G
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
           Em  D  C      D      G
What you gotta do is stay with me when the night comes down
Em D   C D C
Say you'll be around
Em  D  C   D   G   D
When the night comes down
Em  D   C D  C
Say, let's go downtown
Em  D  C      D      G
Stay with me when the night comes down

[VERSE 5:]
G            C
Some people go to the mountains
G                D
Some people, they go down to the sea
      G             C
But there's one thing you know you can count on
    G             D
You can always come downtown with me


[VERSE 6:]
G              C
If you see a light from a doorway
G            D
You know I'm somewhere around
  G             C
Or else I'll be somewhere up your way
         G       Em  D   G
Would you let me stay when the night comes down?


[CHORUS:]
        Em            G
The night is an ocean, never reaching the end
