Chris De Burgh (with Elissa) - Lebanese Night [INTRO] Am It was late in a Lebanese restaurant
Em     Am
In the heat of a Lebanese night

Em        Am
There was dancing, people were singing

Em       Am
She came in from the garden outside

       G
In her eyes (Bi Ouyoona)

          Am
I saw the stars (Bshouf E' Njoom)

      F                           E7 E
And I felt something happen in my heart (Uh...)

       Am
Then I knew I was going to meet her

Em     Am
In the heat of a Lebanese night

Em      Am
And the girl inside the woman

Em       Am
Who came over to sit by my side

             G
And when she smiled

                Am
The whole world stopped (Salam)

       F                            G
It was then I heard the echoes of a child
[CHORUS]
            C                     G          Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby

        Am           C           G
And the sound of the guns in the night

            C                            G            Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life

         Am             C             G     F
From the hell that came down from the sky?

     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night

              Am
On a Lebanese night
We went down to the edge of the water
Em     Am
By the light of a Lebanese dawn

Em      Am
And she told me all the stories

Em     Am
Of her beautiful land in the war

               G
Her tears fell down

             Am
The sun came up

      F                               G
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes
[CHORUS]
           C                               G             Dm
Ghammadt Ouyounak 'a Ghinniyyi Wa Sawt Bi 'llayl shou khifan

            Am          C            G
W' rahh bit dal hayk layliyi init sihran

           C                          G            Dm
Shi marra mshit bi hal mada, w' marra hrabt aw min hada

         Am       C                 G     F
La indak jayi 'al ghada w' kinit ta'ban

     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night

     G        Am
On a Lebanese night
[BRIDGE]
                     G
Ana Ma 'areft illa makan

           Dm             Am
Ma rahh bi fil minnou 'ssalam

                          Em
Fi hadaya ktar min ywazze'on

              Dm               Am
Mish killi el oulad fi hdiyyi ilon

                   G
Uh...    (Uh...)
[CHORUS]
            C                     G          Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby

        Am           C           G
And the sound of the guns in the night

            C                            G            Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life

         Am             C             G     F
From the hell that came down from the sky?

     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night

     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night

     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night

     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night

          G                   Am
I will be waiting, in the Lebanon
