Chords for Smokie - I'll Meet You at Midnight (East Berlin 26.05.1976)

[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ [F#m]
A summer [G] evening on the Champs-Élysées,
A secret [F#m] rendezvous they planned for days.
I see her face [B] in a crowded café, _
The sound of [F#m] laughter as the music plays.

_ _ _ Jean-Claude's a [Bm] student at the _ _ Université,
The Louise Marie [F#m] was just a world away. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ He recalls the night [Bm] they met, was warm with laughter,
Her words were [F#m] music as she turned away.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
I'll meet [F#m] you at midnight,
_ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] I'll _ meet you at [F#m] midnight, _
But Jean-Claude, Louise [Bm] Marie will never be. _
[B] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Each cigarette would [Bm] light a thousand places,
A shower that fast [F#m] seemed like a thousand years. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Midnight was turning [Bm] into empty spaces,
The sound of laughter, [F#m] it disappeared.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I'll meet you [F#m] at midnight,
_ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] I'll _ meet you [F#m] at midnight,
But Jean-Claude, Louise [Bm] Marie will never be. _ _
[B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ A summer morning on the [Bm] Champs-Élysées,
The empty [F#m] table of the street café, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The sunlight melting [Bm] through an open doorway,
Jean-Claude has left this [F#m] place another day.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I'll meet you [F#m] at midnight,
_ _ [E] _
Under the [F#m] moonlight,
_ _ _ [E] _
I'll meet you [F#m] at midnight, _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ I'll meet you [F#m] at midnight,
Under [E] _ _ the [F#m]
moonlight,
_ [F#] _ [E] _ I'll meet you [F#m] at midnight,
[F#] But Jean-Claude, Louise [Bm] Marie will never be. _ _ _ _ _
