Beresford Street

Em Dsus2 Em Dsus2 Em Dsus2 It's eight o'clock on Beresford Street the day is getting dim Em Dsus2 People shed their working clothes, children sing their hymns C Bm7 Am7 G Now's the time to rest the soul, worries go when dreams unfold A7 D And in the empty twilight street the lamplight looks like gold. Em Dsus2 Down a block a sound is heard, the old folks turn their heads Em Dsus2 Stories stop before they end, kids wake up in their beds C Bm7 Am7 G Out on the road they stand and wait, and whisper to themselves, "He's late" A7 D For they've all been waiting for the Concertina Man G C G And when they danced along beside him in the moonlight Am D G They were all right, was a good night C G For his concertina laughed away the bad times Am D G gave them glad times, forgot the sad times. Em Dsus2 They see him now his head held high, his squeeze-box plays a tune Em Dsus2 Stepping to the rhythm, beneath the rising moon C Bm7 Am7 G The happiness with which he plays, takes them from their worried ways A7 D They follow in his harmony and dance along with him G C G And when they danced along beside him in the moonlight Am D G They were all right, was a good night C G For his concertina laughed away the bad times Am D G gave them glad times, forgot the sad times. Em Dsus2 Well no one knows where the song man lives or how he spends his days Em Dsus2 No one stops to question him about his gypsy ways C Bm7 Am7 G He lives his life without a care, hoping only to be there A7 D to spend a little time to share his song with everyone G C G And when they danced along beside him in the moonlight Am D G They were all right, was a good night C G For his concertina laughed away the bad times Am D G gave them glad times, forgot the sad times. Em Dsus2 Now he's gone into the night, the lamppost stands alone Em Dsus2 Dogs and cats are quiet now, the children have gone home C Bm7 Am7 G But in their dreams they hear him sing reminding them of everything A7 D that they love and wish to bring them each a little closer G C G And when they danced along beside him in the moonlight Am D G They were all right, was a good night C G For his concertina laughed away the bad times Am D G gave them glad times, forgot the sad times. G C G And when they danced along beside him in the moonlight Am D G They were all right, was a good night C G For his concertina laughed away the bad times Am D G gave them glad times, forgot the sad times.
