Lights Of Cincinnati

Scott Walker


Tom: F

Intro:  F  Bb  F  Bb

F                 Gm
I remember still, I guess I always will
C7                                      F       
That winters day I took the west bound flight,
   C7                                      Am
As I looked down from the plane you were standing in the rain,
    Bb                 Dm           D#    C
You waved goodbye till I was out of sight.

Chorus:
    F     C        Bb                  Bb6             F     
And I can see them shining through the willows and the pines,
    Bb             Am7           Bbmaj7       F
The lights of Cincinnati, oh, so many miles behind,
        Bbmaj7         F            Am7           Bb   
I could build myself a new life and make it on my own,
        F         C     Bb             Bb6             F     
But the lights of Cincinnati will keep calling me back home.
 
Sometimes late at night I watch the fire light
Make pictures of a life that used to be,
For a moment I'm back there in that same old rocking chair,
You look across the room and smile at me.
