When The Lights Came On by Strawbs
Strawbs - When The Lights Came On
INTRO: Am C G Am C G C D Am C G Am C G C D Am
D C G Am C
The party wasn't over, when my friends started leaving
G D
Still a lot of things I had to say
N.C. D C G Am C
If I walked back in that room, would it be the way I left it?
G D
Lost my nerve and turned away
And the rains came
Am G D - F
And the skies turned grey
CHORUS:
Am
When the lights came on
G
I could see the picture
Am Em
It burnt my eyes and it bruised my mind
F C
Gave me hope to face the future
G Am - G - Am
I was not alone when the lights came on
INTERLUDE: C G D Am C G D Am
D C G Am C
They crucified the ox and put his carcass to the fire
G D - G - D
Stood around proclaiming they were free
C G Am
Stripped away his flesh, while giving thanks for all his labours
C G D - G - D
No-one saw the joke, but him and me
Then the rains came
Am G D - F
And the skies turned grey
CHORUS:
Am
When the lights came on
G
I could see the picture
Am Em
It burnt my eyes and it bruised my mind
F C
Gave me hope to face the future
G Am - G - Am
I was not alone when the lights came on
INTERLUDE: C G D Am C G D Am
(Horns) Dm G Am C G D C G Am C G D
Then the rains came
Am G D - F
And the skies turned grey
CHORUS:
Am
When the lights came on
G
I could see the picture
Am Em
It burnt my eyes and it bruised my mind
F C
Gave me hope to face the future
G Am - G - Am
I was not alone when the lights came on
INTERLUDE: C G D Am C G D Am
D C G Am
A wise man built his house upon a rock beside a river
C G D - G - D
Cared not for the storms that lashed around
C G Am
The foolish man was tempted, dipped his soul into the water
C G D
His body, though at peace, has not been found
But the rains came
Am G D - F
And the skies turned grey
CHORUS:
Am
When the lights came on
G
I could see the picture
Am Em
It burnt my eyes and it bruised my mind
F C
Gave me hope to face the future
G Am - G
I was not alone when the lights came on
CHORUS:
Am
When the lights came on
G
I could see into the future
Am Em
It burnt my eyes and it bruised my mind
F C
I saw the truth that I had been concealing
G Am - G - Am
We were face to face when the lights came on
OUTRO: C/G Cmaj9/G G D C/G Cmaj9/G G D Am
