Christopher John Davison (born 15 October 1948), known professionally as Chris de Burgh, is a British-Irish singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. He started out as an art rock performer but subsequently started writing more pop-oriented material. He has had several top 40 hits in the UK and two in the US, but he is more popular in other countries, particularly Norway and Brazil. His 1986 love song "The Lady in Red" reached number one in several countries. De Burgh has sold over 45 million albums worldwide.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is the first song from which I submit chords, hope you like it. Feedback appreciated!
When transposing I recommend using a capo instead of changing the chords, to retain the original feel of the song.
Intro: CCmaj7CFmaj7FFmaj7CCmaj7CFmaj7G
Verse 1: CFmaj7G I've never seen you looking so lovely, as you did tonight. EAmGF I've never seen you shine so bright... ooo... ooo CFmaj7G I've never seen so many men asking if you wanted to dance. EAmGF They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance. DmDm7 And I have never seen that dress you're wearing. GAm Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes. G I have been blind.
Chorus:
CCmaj7CFmaj7GAmGAm The lady in red, is dancing with me.... Cheek to cheek. DmGC There's nobody here, it's just you and me. C7 It's where I want to be. FEAmFmaj7 But I hardly know this beauty by my side. DmGC I'll never forget.... The way you look tonight.

Verse 2:
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight. I've never seen you shine so bright.... You were amazing. I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side. And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away. I have never had such a feeling. Such a feeling of complete and utter love. As I do tonight.
