Somebody Turned On The Light by Arlo Guthrie chords
Start Jamming...
Been to Wild Montana, [C] [G] went there in a storm.
My boots wore Texas [F] leather, my Levi's wet [C] and torn.
[G] [C] Loved it in [G] Montana, [C] [G] yes I loved it in the [G] storm.
[C] [G] I jiggled on across that [F] river, I just might [C] be reborn.
York, New York, winter [Bb]
[F] 61, taking me a [C] city ride.
Somebody tall [Bb] must have put out the lights, cause [F] it got real [G] dark outside.
[C] And I never saw the [Bb] sun till 71, [F] but I never [C] gave up the fight.
Sure was [Dm] glad when I saw the [F] dawn, somebody, somebody turned on the light.
Somebody [C] turned on the light.
Women [Dm] whining, fast red cars, [Bb] and I couldn't see [C] to read the signs.
Somebody [Bb] said, whose life is [F] this?
And I said [G] that it can't be mine.
And I never saw [Bb] the sun till 71, [F] but I never [C] gave up the fight.
Sure [Dm] was glad when I saw the [F] dawn, somebody, somebody turned on the light.
Somebody turned [C] on the light.
[G] [Eb]
[F] [C] When the world is wrong, [Bb] better right [F] yourself, better make the [C] dark clouds fly.
Nobody [Bb] tall can put out the light, just [F] don't let the [G] spirit die.
If you never see the [Bb] sun till 91, [F] don't you never [C] give up the fight.
Sure be [Dm] glad when you see the dawn, [F] somebody, somebody turns on the light.
Somebody turns on [C] the light.
[G] [Eb]
[F] [C]
