Del Amitri – Before The Evening Steals The Afternoon (Guitar)

            D9          E           E7     Am
Lovers they walk on the bright side of the street

                D9           G            Em
And the city it shines in surprise in the ice cream heat

      C           Am           Em           Dm
And I want to be kissed in the haze of this hotel room

F                  G                Am


[Verse]
[tab]                   D9           E       E7     Am
And the traffic it shakes as my travel shaver drones

                D9                  G                        Em
And the maid she mistakes my 'come in' for a 'please leave me alone'

       C           Am           Em         Dm
But I want to be held in the swell of her sweet perfume

F                   G               Am
Before the evening steals the afternoon

                Dm                      Dsus2         Am        Em
Before the daylight dies and the dusty sky gets rusted up with tungsten

                Am              Asus2                                   E7
Before the phony night stakes its claim on walkers waiting at the junction

D9              E       E7              Am
From the blue shade of the park, couples emerge

D9                      G                       Em
Dropping hands like they're still scared to get caught

        C       Am              Em              Dm
But I want to be caught in their rage of embraces too

F                       G       Am
Before the evening steals the afternoon X2

F                       G       Em7             Am
Before the evening steals               the afternoon
