Elliott Murphy – Rock Ballad (Ukulele)

E
When the moon was just right

A                                    B
We could turn off the light and just listen

E
And we'd pray to the night

E
And we'd hold on so tight

A                                      B
You could hear crystal stars as they'd glisten

E
Lovers in vain 

E
Like to walk in the rain

A                           B
Like to hear distant trains emotion

E
And the late radio

E
We would play it so low

A                            B
No one must know this devotion

E         A    E       A
Rock ballad - Rock ballad

F#                      C#m         B    A
You know baby and I used to listen all night long

            E                              B
To the real slow song - Till the tears were gone

E
And these jobs and these schools

E
Teach romance is for fools

A                               B
And the dream always ends upon waking

E
And we all kept our cool like a hustler shoot pool

A                                 B
And soon your whole life is spent faking

E
Cause to try is to fail

E
And as the wind left your sails

A                                     B
All you heard was the sound of their laughter

E
But I was running so fast

E
With the wind racing past

A                        B
All I heard was a voice say "go after her"

E         A    E       A

F#                      C#m         B    A
You know baby and I used to listen all night long

            E                             B
To the real slow song - Till the tears were gone

E
And these soul clarinets

E
And the feelings we get

A                         B
It's the songs of regret I remember

E
And we placed our last bet

E
On loves long shot request

A                             B
As they spun the roulette that September

E
Now let's all raise our glass

E
For a drink to the past

A                              B
And a drink to the last chance taken

E
And let's drink once again to our long lost friends

A                                    B
No, we can't let it end the surf's breaking

E         A    E       A
