Could you put your light on please?
[A] It's kinda [Am] dark tonight
And [D] I feel a little lonely [C] Yes, I need a little [G] light
Could you put your light on please?
[Am] Let me hear my friend there sigh
I [D] could make it through till morning If [C] you could let [G] your light shine down
She [C] [D] moved so [Am] well, cause she [Em] was a dancer She [F] went sliding through my questions
[C] Gliding [G] round the [D] answer [G] Whatever [D] it was, she knew [E] it was holy
[Em]
And [F] each time I tried to hold her [C] A smile come [G] sad and slowly
She said no one [D] knows me
[E] [G] Could you put your light on please?
[Am] It's kinda dark tonight
[D] And I feel a little lonely [C] Yes, I need a little [G] light
Could you put your light on please?
[Am] Let me hear my friend there sigh
I [D] could make it through till morning If [C] you could let your light [G] shine [D] down
[G]
[D] She had a dream I had [E] my type [Em] right on
While I [F] was hacking out such a heavy word [C] She was weaving one [G] marsh ladder
[D] But I never knew just how much [E] it cost her
[Em] But [F] each time I slept beside her [C] Something turned [G] and tossed her
And it did till I [D] lost her
[C]
I'll be back for brighter Tell [Dm]
[C] your night time for lighter
[D] Never, [F] [Eb] never be no more
[D]
[Dm]
[G] Could you put your light on please?
It's [G] kinda dark tonight
And I feel a little lonely Yes, [C] I need a [G] little light
Could you put your light on please?
[C] Let me hear my friend there sigh
I could make it through till morning If you could let your light shine down
Could you put your light on please?
I [G] need a little light
I need a little light
