Oooh----------------------------
Dno3  (riff 2x)
mmmm

And I thought that I'd found the light    Dno3     D(no3) (n.c.)
To guide me through my nights and all my darkness
I was mistaken, it was only reflections of a shadow that I saw
Ooooh, mmmm

And I thought that I'd seen someone who seemed
At last to know the truth
I was mistaken, it was only a child laughing in the sun
Mmmmm, mmmmm

Dno3  D2 Gsus4 Gno3         Dno3  (RIFF 4x)
Aaaaaaah,            in the sun, mmm
