April Nights

G Em G Em G Well the rumor’s gone to sleep Em And the sky it weeps - softly almost unnoticed G And the old dog on the stairs Em Em7/D Of a closed down hotel - is probably waiting for summer C D And all I can hear is the sound of the train G Am G/B C G/B Southbound I guess Am G/B C And up along the river the factories D They breathe heavily into the night G And the harbor lights Em They look dim tonight - yellow sort of unreal G And the black dirty water Em Em7/D Under the bridge - that looks just like the way that I feel C D And a lonely cruising taxi is coming from the north G Am G/B C Bis headlights are searching for romance G/B Am G/B And I wonder to myself C D If I’m ever gonna do anything right G D Em ‘Cause April nights are for April fools C Em/B Am G/B C D And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool G D Em And April Skies are for April stars C Em/B Am G/B C D G Em And I miss you tonight but you are so far away G The mocking birds they are silent tonight Em Not knowing which way the wind will blow G And the mist and the fog Em Em7/D The underdog is letting his feeling show C D Be wonders if he’s ever gonna go G Am G/B C G/B South of this promised land Am G/B To find some people C D Real people that might just understand G D Em ‘Cause April nights are for April fools C Em/B Am G/B C D And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool G D Em And April Skies are for April stars C Em/B Am G/B C D G Em And I miss you tonight but you are so far away G When your life’s lost its course Em And you can’t find the torch - that always got you back on the feet G In your mouth there’s a taste Em Em7/D Of the yesterdays wine - that got you back onto the street C D But you did it all yourself - there’s no one to blame G Am G/B C You’ll never be the keeper of the flame G/B Am G/B C You just held it for a while - tried to do it with style D While singing on the last refrain G D Em ‘Cause April nights are for April fools C Em/B Am G/B C D And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool G D Em And April Skies are for April stars C Em/B Am G/B C D G Em And I miss you tonight but you are so far away G When the rumor’s gone to sleep Em And the sky it weeps - softly almost unnoticed G And the old dog on the stairs Em Of a closed down hotel - is probably waiting for summer A E F#m April nights are for April fools D F#m/C# Bm A/C# D E And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool A E F#m And April Skies are for April stars D F#m/C# Bm A/C# D E And I miss you tonight but you are so far away A E F#m April nights are for April fools D F#m/C# Bm A/C# D E And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool A E F#m April Skies are for April stars D F#m/C# Bm A/C# D E A F#m A And I miss you tonight but you are so far away
