Rab Noakes - Do You See The Lights?
[INTRO]
E F# A E F# A E
[VERSE 1]
F#
There's so much in Sunday is close to hand
A E
And the morning begins at midnight
F#
The sun is resting behind you
A E
And the feeling is over all night___
[VERSE 2]
F#
It's been a long time, so your diary says
A E
But it can't last another day, says your mind
F#
And the clock is closing its teeth and preparing to strike
A E
And your zipper-slither starts saying now's the time___
[CHORUS]
A E
Do you see the lights go out____?
G#m A
Do you see the lights go down____?
F#7 B A G#m B7
Do you see the lights go spinning round?
[VERSE 3]
E F#
You walk into the room where your queen has been waiting
A E
In the same position for more than half of the night
F#
And you sit in the corner and straighten your tie
A E
And try to make a situation polite
[VERSE 4]
F#
Then when the speech, you carefully prepared
A E
Gets stuck halfway along your tongue
F#
And the words come fumbling and stumbling around
A E
And unfinished before you've even begun___
[CHORUS]
A E
Do you see the lights go out____?
G#m A
Do you see the lights go down____?
F#7 B A G#m B7
Do you see the lights go spinning round?
[VERSE 5]
E F#
And then when she comes round to see if things from your side
A E
And down her river you flow
F#
It seems like you are on the way in front
A E
'Til she goes to get her clothes
[VERSE 6]
F#
Then when she's on your doorstep
A E
And says thanks for all you've done
F#
You know you haven't seen you from her shoes
A E
As down the road she does run___
[CHORUS]
A E
Do you see the lights go out____?
G#m A
Do you see the lights go down____?
F#7 B A G#m B7
Do you see the lights go spinning round?
[INSTRUMENTAL]
E F# A E F# A E
[CHORUS]
A E
Ah yes, you see the lights go out____
G#m A
Then you see the lights go down____
F#7 B A G#m B7 E A E
You can't stop the lights go spinning round
