[Intro]
D A G D A G
[Verse]
D G A
Cannons roared in the valley they thundered
A (Bm) D
While the guns lit up the night
D G A
Then it rained and both sides wondered
A (Bm) D
Who is wrong and who is right
D G A
On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
A (Bm) D
Bloody hands and broken back
D G A
When they fire see him pirouette solo
A (Bm) D
Jump in time to the rat a tat
[Chorus]
D A G
What a night though it's one of seven
D A G
What a night for the dancing dead
D A G
What a night to be called to heaven
D A G
What a picture to fill your head
[Interlude]
D A G D A G
[Verse]
D G A
By the wall in a silouette standing
A (Bm) D
Through a flash of sudden light
D G A
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
A (Bm) D
Paper square to his heart pinned tight
[Interlude]
D A G D A G
[Verse]
Oooh..
D G A
Gather round reluctant marksmen
A (Bm) D
One of them to take his life
D G A
With a smile he gives them pardon
A (Bm) D
Leaves the dark and takes the light
[Chorus]
D A G
What a night though it's one of seven
D A G
What a night for the dancing dead
D A G
What a night to be called to heaven
D A G
What a picture to fill your head (To fill your head)
[Interlude]
D A G D A G
[Verse]
D G A
They dispatch their precious cargo
A (Bm) D
And knock him back right off his feet
D G A
And they pray may no one follow
A (Bm) D
Better still to face the beast
D G A
When the field has become a garden
A (Bm) D
And the wall has stood the test
D G A
Children play and the dogs run barking
A (Bm) D
Who would think or who would guess
[Chorus]
D A G
What a night though it's one of seven (les morts dansant)
D A G
What a night for the dancing dead
D A G
What a night to be called to heaven
D A G
What a picture to fill your head (TO fill your head)
[Interlude]
D A G D A G
[Chorus]
D A G
What a night though it's one of seven (les morts dansant)
D A G
What a night for the dancing dead
D A G
What a night to be called to heaven
D A G
What a picture to fill your head (TO fill your head)
D A G
What a night though it's one of seven(les morts dansant)
D A G
What a night for the dancing dead
D A G
What a night to be called to heaven
D A G
What a picture to fill your head
Ooh what a night..
D A G
What a night though it's one of seven(les morts dansant)
D A G
What a night for the dancing dead
D A G
What a night to be called to heaven
D A G
What a picture to fill your head
[Outro]
D A G
Oh Oh...
D A G
Finish on a D
