      D                              Em
She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer

            F
She went sliding through my questions

  C                  G
Gliding 'round the answer

    D                              Em
Whatever it was, she knew it was holy

           F
And each time I tried to hold her

      C                   G
Her smile came sad and slowly

                    D
She said, "No one knows me."

  G
Could you put your light on please

      Am
It's kind of dark tonight

       D7
And I feel a little lonely

         C             G
Yes, I need a little light

  G
Could you put your light on please

        Am
Let me hear a friendly sound

          D7
I could make it through 'til morning

              C                     G
If you could let your light shine down

 D                              Em
She had a dream, I had my typewriter

              F
While I was hacking out such a heavy world

           C                G
She was weaving one much lighter

            D                         Em
But I'll never know just how much it cost her

           F
And as I slept beside her

     C                  G
Something turned and tossed her

                     D
And it did till I lost her

 G
Could you put your light on please

      Am
It's kind of dark tonight

       D7
And I feel a little lonely

         C             G
Yes, I need a little light

  G
Could you put your light on please

        Am
Let me hear a friendly sound

          D7
I could make it through 'til morning

              C                     G
If you could let your light shine down

 C
Bright times were brighter

              Dm
Than they'd ever been before, I tell you

  C
Night times were lighter

               Dm    D#          D
But they'll never, never be no more

G
Could you put your light on please

      Am
It's kind of dark tonight

       D7
And I feel a little lonely

         C             G
Yes, I need a little light

  G
Could you put your light on please

        Am
Let me hear a friendly sound

          D7
I could make it through 'til morning

              C                     G
If you could let your light shine down
