Capo first fret
C
Midnight
. Am
Not a sound from the pavement
. F
Has the moon lost her memory?
. Em
She is smiling alone
. Dm Am
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
. G C
And the wind begins to moan
C
Memory
. Am
All alone in the moonlight
. F
I can smile at the old days
. Em
I was beautiful then
. Dm Am
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
. G C
Let the memory live again
Em F Em F
Every streetlamp seems to beat
Em C G
a fatalistic warning
. Em D
Someone mutters, and a streetlamp gutters,
. Em D
And soon it will be morning.
C
Daylight
. Am
I must wait for the sunrise
. F
must think of a new life
. Em
And I mustn’t give in.
. Dm Am
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
. G C
And a new day will begin
Em F Em F
Burnt out ends of smokey days
Em C G
The stale cold smell of morning
. Em D
he streetlamp dies, another night is over
. Em D
Another day is dawning…
C
Touch me!
. Am
It’s so easy to leave me
. F
All alone with the memory
. Em
Of my days in the sun…
. Dm Am
If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is
. G C
Look, a new day has begun
