Guitar chords with lyrics

G               D       F#      F#7      Bm
He made the night a little brighter wherever
                           G       D       G    D       A7
He would go the old lamp lighter of long, long ago.
           G                 D                              F#        F#7     Bm
His snowy hair was so much whiter. Beneath the candle's glow
      G        D     G   D     A7    D   A7     D                             D6
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago. You'd hear the patter of his feet
            D                  D6                          D                   D6               D
As he came toddlin' down the street, the smile would hide a lonely heart, you see
               Em                 Em7                            Em               Em7
If there were sweethearts in the park, he'd pass a lamp and leave it dark,
   Em            Em7              Em    A7                D                     D6
Remembering the days that used to be, for he recalls when dreams were new,
           D                     D6                              D               A7          D
He loved someone who loved him, too, who walks with him alone in memory.
             G               D       F#      F#7      Bm
He made the night a little brighter wherever
                           G       D       G    D       A7
He would go the old lamp lighter of long, long ago.
           G                 D                              F#        F#7     Bm
His snowy hair was so much whiter. Beneath the candle's glow
      G        D     G   D     A7    D   A7     D                             D6
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago. You'd hear the patter of his feet
            D                  D6                          D                   D6               D
As he came toddlin' down the street, the smile would hide a lonely heart, you see
               Em                 Em7                          Em                 Em7
Now if you look up in the sky, you'll understand the reason why
   Em            Em7              Em    A7             D                     D6
The little stars at night are all aglow, he turns them on when night is here,
          D                     D6                            D               A7          D
He turns them off when dawn is near, the little man we loved so long ago.
             G               D       F#      F#7      Bm
He made the night a little brighter wherever
                           G       D       G    D       A7
He would go the old lamp lighter of long, long ago.
           G                 D                              F#        F#7     Bm
His snowy hair was so much whiter. Beneath the candle's glow
      G        D     G   D     A7    D   A7     D                             D6
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago. You'd hear the patter of his feet
            D                  D6                          D                   D6               D
As he came toddlin' down the street, the smile would hide a lonely heart, you see
