Electric Light Orchestra - Sweet Is The Night

intro : chords from chorus

E G#m
when the day is done and there’s nowhere to run
A B
and the people of the city have all lost and won
E G#m
in your city dress you stand and stare
A B
and you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
A E/G#
and the light that shines
F#m B
paints a trace of sadness
A E
on the street , i wait
F#m B
but i can’t seem to get to you

E G#m
oh , you start to sway , check your cartier
A B
’cos it’s getting late , you can’t afford to wait
E G#m
so you move along where it’s going on
A B
and the people of the night are playing ’till the dawn
A E/G#
and the sun that shines
F#m B
paints a trace of sadness
A E
in your eyes that cry
F#m B
wishing and hoping
A
oh oh

chorus :
E A
sweet , sweet is the night
B E
now you are near
E A
dark , dark were the days
B E
they disappear
E A
sweet , sweet is the night
B A E/G# F#m Am
now you are near

E G#m
well you did your thing and you lost your wings
A B
and you hurt so bad you lost everything
E G#m
and the tears that fall on the city wall
A B
will fade away with the rays of morning
A E/G#
light that shines
F#m B A E
paints a smile across your pretty face , i know
F#m B
everything is alright
A
