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
                   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

Say, let's go downtown
Em   D    C           D           G
Stay with me when the night comes down
