The Divine Comedy – All The Pretty Lights (Guitar)

G6               Gmaj7
Out there in the darkness

G6             Gmaj7
Just beyond my reach

G/B           C
Broken little parts of

  Am7       D7
A faded memory

G6             Gmaj7
Three pyjama’d brothers

      G6            Gmaj7
Cross-legged on the floor

G/B           C
Arguing which of us wanted

A7/C#             A      A7
Christmas to come more

    Dm                   A7/D
The playroom door swings open

Dm              A7/D
In come Mum and Dad

     Cm              D7/C
They sit down on the sofa

  Ebdim           Em
I get up on Mum’s lap

      G6/F           G/F
We’re flying down to London town

    C/E         C/G      A7
Now what do you think of that!

    A/C#  D              G/B    Em7      A7
And I saw all the pretty lights shining

            D              G/B        Em
I looked at all the pretty lights out there

             A7            A7/G
I thought of all the other kids

    D/F#    G        Em    Asus4   A7
And if they felt the way I did

            D              G/B   Em7      A7
And I could feel my little heart beating

        D7                G       G/F# E7
So many questions running through my   mind

            D/F#            F#aug
As I looked at those pretty lights shining

    G6            Gmaj7
The family in the Big Smoke

G6            Gmaj7
Snow and taxi cabs

G/B             C
Was there snow? I don’t know

     Am7               D7
It’s all mixed up with Peter Pan

   G6              Gmaj7
Oh battleships and waxworks

G6            Gmaj7
Pantomimes, museums

    G/B        C
And finally on Regent Street

    A7/C#           A        A7
The toy shop of my dreams!

Dm/A      A7
Everybody grows up

Bdim/A                A7
Things can’t stay the same

Cm/A               D7
What I’d give just to relive

  Ebdim       Em
A single hour again

G6/F             G/F
Childhood’s lost forever now

    C/E G/D  C   G/B  A7
But childish joy re - mains

A7/G A7/F# A7/E D              G/B    Em7      A7
When I     see  all the pretty lights shining

             D              G/B        Em      Emmaj7
Just look at all the pretty lights out there

              A7           A7/G
Check out the faces on the kids

        D/F#    G       Em       Asus4   A7
They’re feeling the way you once did

          D            G/B   Em7      A7
And I can feel my aged heart beating

    D7         G          G/F# E7
The terror and excitement intertwine

            D/F#            F#aug  G       Abdim
When I look at those pretty lights shining

          Em/A          A7
I’m cross-legged on the floor

             D6   D   D6   D
At Christmas time
