The Old Lamplighter:The Browns.
#5 in '60.

CHORUS:
G D
He made the night a little brighter,
F# Bm
Wherever he would go.
G D G D A7
The old lamp lighter, of long, long ago.

G D
His snowy hair was so much whiter,
F# Bm G D
Beneath the candle glow, the old lamp lighter,
G D A7 D
Of long, long ago.

#1.
D G D
You'd hear the patter of his feet,
D G D
As he came toddling down the street.
D G D
His smile would hide a lonely heart, you see.
D Em Em7
If there were sweethearts in the park,
Em Em7
He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark.
Em Em7 A7
Remembering the days that used to be.
D D7
For he recalled when things were new.
D D7
He loved someone who loved him too.
D A7 D
Who walks with him alone in memories.

CHORUS:

#2.
D G D
Now if you look up in the sky,
D G D
You'll understand the reason why,
D G D
The little stars at night are all aglow.
Em Em7
He turns them on when night is near,
Em Em7
He turns them off when dawn is here.
D A7 D
The little man who lived so long ago.

CHORUS:

ADD:
G D
He made the night a little brighter,
F# Bm
Wherever he would go.
G D G D A D
The old lamp lighter of long, long a..go.
