[D]
[F#] Wherever he would [Bm] go
[D] The [G] old [D] lamp-lighter
Of [E] long, long [A] ago
His [D] snowy hair was so much whiter
[F#] Beneath the [Bm] candle glow
[D] [G] The old [D] lamp-lighter
Of long, [A]
long [D] ago
You'd hear the patter of his feet
As he came toddling down the street
His smile had a lonely heart, you see
If there [Em] were sweethearts in the park
It'd pass a lap and leave it dark
Remembering the days that used to be
[A] For he [D] recalls when dreams were new
He loved someone who loved him too
Who walks with him [A] alone in [D] memory
He made the night a little brighter
[F#] Wherever he [Bm] would [D] go
[G] The old [D] lamp-lighter
Of [A] long, long [D] ago
Now if you look up in the sky
You'll understand the reason why
The little stars at night are all aglow
He [Em] turns them on when night is here
He turns them off when dawn is near
The little man we laughed at long ago
[A] He [D] made the night a little brighter
[F#] Wherever he [Bm] would [D] go
[G] The old [D] lamp -lighter
Of [A] long, long ago
[D]
[F#] Wherever he would [Bm] go
[D] The [G] old [D] lamp-lighter

[D] [G] The old [D] lamp-lighter
Of long, [A]
long [D] ago
You'd hear the patter of his feet
As he came toddling down the street

If there [Em] were sweethearts in the park
It'd pass a lap and leave it dark
Remembering the days that used to be

Who walks with him [A] alone in [D] memory
He made the night a little brighter
