Chords for Joe Brown - Leave The Light On - Live In Liverpool

_ _ Well, I tell you Phil, I really wish I had your voice mate.
I wish I had your voice. _ _
_ _ _ We can have a lend of it.
Have a lend of it in the interval.
Walk around backstage shouting at people. _ _
_ _ _ _ Hello Roland, how you doing over there?
Alright.
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a good friend called Alvin Lee.
He's a guitar player, or he was with a band called Ten Years After.
_ _ And we spent a lot of time together because he used to live near me.
But since then he's moved to Spain and I don't see much of him.
[F#m] _ [N] But every now and then he sends me something over on the internet that he thinks I might like.
You know, like a song or something.
And what I do then is I get, Pete comes over to my house and switches it on for me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And I_
I'm glad to see I'm not on my own here. _
_ [D] Anyway, this little song, it's _ by a New Orleans guitar player songwriter called Chris Smither.
And I just thought it was a lovely little song.
It's called Leave The Light On.

If I was young again [G] I'd pay attention
To that little known [D] dimension
The taste [A] of endless time
It's [D] just like water, it runs right [G] through our fingers
The flavor [D] of it lingers like a [A] rich [D] red wine _
[A] In those days [D] we were [C#m] single, [D] we lived them one by one
[A] Now we [D] hardly [F#m] see them, they [G] don't walk, [A] they run
[D] But I've got plenty left, I've set [G] my sight on
Don't wait up, [D] leave the light on, I'll [A] be [D] home soon _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _
I've never known my life in [G] such a hurry
But if I [D] start to worry, I'll get [A] left behind
It's [D] just a party, but you [Em] don't get [G] invitations
There's just one [D] destination, you better be on time _
[A] For years we [D] rhymed in [A] couplets, [D] sang them two by two
[A] Now it's [D] hard to [F#m] rhyme at [G] all, but [A] here's a few
[D] And if they hurt, there's bullets [G] left to bite on
Don't [D] wait up, leave the light on, I'll be home soon _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [C#m] _ [D] _ _ _
This drummer in my head [G] needs inspiration
There's a lack of [D] syncopation that holds me [A] to a line
It's just so [D] hard to leave these cages [G] that we think in
By stages we [D] just sink in [A] to a slow [D] decline _
[A] For years we [F#m] lived in waltz time, we danced it [D] three by three
[A] Now it's [D] hard to dance, but [G] if you stick with [A] me
[D] We got what we need to [G] spend the night on
Don't wait up, [D] leave the light on, I'll [A] be [D] home soon _
