Ohhhhhhh

  G+G
I arrived in the city of lights
     G+G
Enchanted ballrooms where I lost my life
        C majorC
I've closed my eyes
          G+G
On your fairground smile
    G+G
Seedy heroes and silver tills
     G+G
Sinking suns on a sea of thrills
      C majorC
I place my bets
             G+G
Trading with stranger in silhouette


      A minorAm
There's a sadness
      E minorEm
There's a joy
      C majorC
There's a place
      G+G          D7D7
There's a song that will never die
 G+G
Forever


VERSE TWO (same chords as before)

I drink your health, son of the earth
Passing ships in the modern death
We're all still fired
Old emotions still burn inside
On solid ground, round the mother tongue
A augmentedA tower of hope, a joyful sound
You take your time
A augmentedA hand of aces in a pack of lies

      A minorAm
There's a sadness
      E minorEm
There's a joy
      C majorC
There's a place
      G+G          D7D7
There's a song that will never die
     A minorAm
Another night
     E minorEm
In this town
     C majorC
Holds me close
      G+G           D7D7
Holds me close to the searchlight
 G+G
Forever


G+G  G+G  C majorC  C majorC
Ohhhhhhh

(Repeat)


VERSE THREE
I found my song and I started to sing
Took me away on an olden wing
So far from home
Standing so lonely but not alone
In this empire of ache and rhyme
Lovers and best friends are running blind
I grasp your hand
Is this the only world I understand

(Chorus)


Outro:
 G+G     E minorEm
Forever and ever
   C majorC     D MajorD
And ever, and ever and ever.

(Repeat)
