By Goffin/Goldburg. From the other side of the She Cries Your Name
single.
[intro]:
| D | D | Bm | Bm | Em | Em | G | D | D |
[verse]:
D Bm G
if I ever feel the light again shining down on me
A G D
I dont have to tell you how welcome it would be
Bm G
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
A G D
and I just keep on believing that itll come back someday
[chorus]:
G D
its not the spotlight its not the candlelight
G A D
its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
G D
it aint the moon light not even the sunlight
G A
but I seen it shining in your eyes
G A D
and you know what I mean
D Bm G
sometimes I try to tell myself the light was never real
A G D
just a fantasy that used to be the way I used to feel
D Bm G
but you and I know better even though its been so long
A G
now if your memory really serves you well youll never tell me no
D
wrong
G D
its not the spotlight its not the candlelight
G A D
its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
G D
it aint the moon light not even the sunlight
G A
but I seen it shining in your eyes
G A D
and you know what I mean
[repeat intro, but lose the D in the last bar]
D [no Bm] G
so if I ever feel the light again shining down on me
A G D
I wont have to tell you how welcome it would be
Bm G
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
A G D
and I just live for believing that itll come back someday
G D
its not the spotlight its not the candlelight
G A D
its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
G D
it aint the moon light not even the sunlight
G A
but I seen it shining in your eyes
G A D
and you know what I mean
G A
oh yeah I seen it shining in your eyes
G A D
and you know what I mean
most of the picking is
------*---*--|
-------*---*-|
--------*----|
---*---------|
--*----------|
-*-----------|
in the D majors, there's plenty of this little hammer-on going on
-----0h2-------|
---3----3--3---|

-0-------------|
G is 355433, everything else is open (except maybe in the intro where Bm
and Em are played at the 7th fret. maybe)
