guitar chords lyrics
City Lights:Ivory Joe Hunter.
#92 ( just under the wire) on ACE Records in 1959.
INTRO: G# C# D# G#
#1.
G# C#
The bright array of city lights as far
as I can see..
D#7
The Great White Way shines through the
G#
night, for lonely guys like me.
#2.
G#
The cabarets and honky tonks, their
C# D#
flashing signs invite..a broken heart to
D#7 G# C# G#
lose itself, in the glow of city lights.
CHORUS:
D# G#
Lights that say, forget her name, in a glass
of sherry wine.
D# G#
Lights that offer other girls, are empty
hearts like mine.
#3.
G# C#
They paint a pretty picture, of a world that's
gay and bright.
D#
But it's just a mask for loneliness..behind
G# C# G#
those city lights.
(INTERLUDE:) D# G# C# G#
CHORUS:
D#
The lights that say, forget her love, in a
G#
different atmosphere.
D# G#
The lights that lure are nothing, but a masquerade
for tears.
#4.
G# C#
They paint a pretty picture, but my arms can't
hold them tight.
D#
And I just can't say, I love you, to a street
G#
of city lights.
OUTRO:
C# G#
City lights..
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
