Come back a (Ebmaj9)gain.

’cause (Ab)some times the world ain’t kind

A (Ab)friend is some one you need.

But (Ab)now that he had cel to go

a way,

I (Fm7)still feel the words that he

(Gm)might say: me.

Turn on your (Abmaj7)heart light;

let it shine wher ev er you go.

Let it make a hap py glow for (Bb)all the world to see.

Turn on your (Abmaj7)heart light

in the mid dle of a (C7sus)young boy’s dream.

Don’t wake me (Fm9)up too soon.

Gon na take a ride a (Ebmaj7)cross the moon,

you and me.

He’s look in’ for (Ebmaj9)home,

’cause (Ab)ev ’ry one needs a place.

And (Ab)home’s the most had cel lent go

of all.

And (Fm7)I’ll be right here if you

(Gm)should call me.

Turn on your (Abmaj7)heart light;

let it shine wher ev er you go.

Let it make a hap py glow for (Bb)all the world to see.

Turn on your (Abmaj7)heart light

in the mid dle of a (C7sus)young boy’s dream.

Don’t wake me (Fm9)up too soon.

Gon na take a ride a (Ebmaj7)cross the moon,

you and me.

He’s look in’ for

And (Ab)home is the most ex cel lent (Ebmaj7)place

And (Fm7)I’ll be right here if (Fm7)you (Gm)should (Ab)call (Gm)me.

(Ab)Turn on your (Ab)heart (Bb7)light (Eb)now.
