The Lights Will Stay On by The Walkabouts

Capo 1st Fret

VERSE: G / D / E / C

I go to sleep, before the devil wakes 
And I wake up, before the angels take 

All my worldly desires 
All my yardsticks of fear 

All my secrets untold 
All my motives unclear 

Hangin' down in the fire 
Burnin' them higher 
Won't take them away from here 

CHORUS: G / D / Am / C

And long after we're gone 
The light will stay on 
The light will stay on 


Watched the city, . . . city of crows 
Watched them fly, watched 'em all flyin' low 

Out above the flood plain 
Just above the dirt road 

They were hungry as winter 
Hungry as us 
Not afraid to be flyin' 
Not afraid to be lost 

And long after we're gone 
The light will stay on 
The light will stay on 

And if you bury me, add three feet to it 
One for you sorrow, two for your sweat 
Three for the strange things we never forget 

And long after we're gone 
The light will stay on 
The light will stay on 

And long after we're safe 
The lights will not fade 
The lights will not fade
