[Verse]
C E
Ripple in the midnight clouds
F C
No stars on the horizon
C E
Flicker from an old street light
F C
Attracts the moths who claim the night
C E
Satellites that pass overhead
F C
In the rib caged sky
C E
If they stop, we’re good as dead
F C
So then what good am I
[Chorus]
E F
‘Cause I’ve heard from encounters with the past
Dm G
The creatures gentle glowing never lasts
E C
So won’t someone tell me after all
F G C
What happened to the fireflies of Montreal
[Verse]
C E
Darkness in the alleyway
F C
At least for some
C E
In the sixties flew away
F C
Left a few, now there are none
[Chorus]
E F
But I’ve heard from encounters with the past
Dm G
The creatures gentle glowing never lasts
E C
So won’t someone tell me after all
F G C
What happened to the fireflies of Montreal
