Chords

This song was written by Neil Finn (his first song apparently) for his band 'After Hours', used to prove to Tim that Neil could support Split Enz on tour... it was recorded as a demo by both Neil and Split Enz, the latter of which can be found on Split Enz' 'Rootin' Tootin' Luton Tapes' (2007). The chords are, of course ,meant for a Piano. Enjoy! [Verse 1]

Tired eyes remember the spotlights

Tired eyes remember those late nights

With ladies on my arm,         nights of passion

You lovers once cherished and gone

    Fm         Eb6sus2/F    F     Bb7
But I’ve slept late in     Rome before
