Chords

This is the closing song to the band’s fantastic album Steal the Light. The chords are very simple... [Intro] Csus4 C G [Verse 1]
Am
Ever since I was 16

  F
I wished that spring would come to me

      F                                   G
And I wished that I could dance up on the isles.

      Am
Sweat rivers on a stage of steam

  F
I let my thoughts begin to dream

  F                  G            C
I held my breath and ran into the wild.
[Verse 2]
    Am
And each night a horizon grew

   F
In all of us or just a few

    F                                G
Til morning’s gold would make it disappear.

    Am
Yet somewhere in my treasured chest

   F
Is not forgot what must forget

    F                G           C
But that’s a feeling for another year.
[Verse 3]
    Am
And movement has a way like words

       F
You’re there before the rhyme is heard

    C                                G
And all that one can do is shape the ride.

    Am
The miles of a forgotten dream

    F
Are yours my love it’s where we’ve been

    F             G            C
And maybe one day soon we will arrive.
[Chorus]
        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,

        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,

        G   Am         F
Sing it all night with me,

F   G     C
All night loud.
[Verse 4]
    Am
And we went on a whirlwind trip

    F
The nights unwound the records flipped

    F                                G
And stillness came like chaos in the lights.

    Am
And voices like devotion flew

F
Across the sea from me to you

   F            G            C
In music that I still cannot describe.
[Verse 5]
    Am
And there were ugly times it’s true

F
Some from me and some from you

    C                           G
And devils have a way of digging down.

      Am
But a friend is not a friend for life

F
Unless your life is worth the strife

F          G        C
So hold on we’ll be alright.
[Chorus]
        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,

        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,

        G   Am         F
Sing it all night with me,

F   G     C
All night loud.
[Verse 6]
Am
There’s a speech that I know well

    F
Was told by Henry V I’ll tell

  F                              G
A version that relates to us not war.

 Am
‘He who sheds his sweat with me

     F
Will be my friend eternally

     F               G             C
From this day to the ending of the world’.
[Verse 7]
   Am
No matter if we’re young or old

   F
Or in the sun or in the cold

  C                               G
I hope I can remember your bright eyes.

    Am
Cos I know you and you know me

   F
At least somehow mysteriously

   F                 G                      C
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight.
[Outro]
           C
I’m much obliged,

           F
I’m much obliged.

   F                 G                      C
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight.

           C
I’m much obliged,

           F
I’m much obliged.

   F                 G                      C
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight.
