      Rab Noakes - Do You See The Lights?



[INTRO]
E  F#  A  E    F#  A  E

[VERSE 1]
                            F#
There's so much in Sunday is close to hand
        A                    E
And the morning begins at midnight
                     F#
The sun is resting behind you
        A                   E
And the feeling is over all night___


[VERSE 2]
                               F#
It's been a long time, so your diary says
       A                                 E
But it can't last another day, says your mind
                                       F#
And the clock is closing its teeth and preparing to strike
         A                                      E
And your zipper-slither starts saying now's the time___


[CHORUS]
                      A      E
Do you see the lights go out____?
                         G#m   A
Do you see the lights go down____?
                      F#7     B      A  G#m  B7
Do you see the lights go spinning round?


[VERSE 3]
    E                             F#
You walk into the room where your queen has been waiting
       A                                       E
In the same position for more than half of the night
                              F#
And you sit in the corner and straighten your tie
    A                         E
And try to make a situation polite


[VERSE 4]
                          F#
Then when the speech, you carefully prepared
     A                        E
Gets stuck halfway along your tongue
                               F#
And the words come fumbling and stumbling around
      A                             E
And unfinished before you've even begun___


[CHORUS]
                      A      E
Do you see the lights go out____?
                         G#m   A
Do you see the lights go down____?
                      F#7     B      A  G#m  B7
Do you see the lights go spinning round?


[VERSE 5]
    E                                   F#
And then when she comes round to see if things from your side
    A                  E
And down her river you flow
                             F#
It seems like you are on the way in front
         A               E
'Til she goes to get her clothes


[VERSE 6]
                        F#
Then when she's on your doorstep
         A                     E
And says thanks for all you've done
                                   F#
You know you haven't seen you from her shoes
   A                      E
As down the road she does run___


[CHORUS]
                      A      E
Do you see the lights go out____?
                         G#m   A
Do you see the lights go down____?
                      F#7     B      A  G#m  B7
Do you see the lights go spinning round?


[INSTRUMENTAL]
E  F#  A  E    F#  A  E


[CHORUS]
                           A      E
Ah yes, you see the lights go out____
                           G#m   A
Then you see the lights go down____
                          F#7     B      A  G#m  B7  E  A  E
You can't stop the lights go spinning round
