Lyrics

(Ebm7)Ga bey’s com in’, Ga bey’s (Cbmaj7)com in’ to town,

So (Db6)what?

Who (Gbmaj7)cares?

Back on the (Gbmaj7)ship it (Fm7)seemed such a snap: You’d (Gb6)tap a girl on the shoul der, She’d turn a round,

And she’d say: “I love (A9)you.”

But once on (Gmaj7)shore, it’s (F#m7)not such a snap, You (G6)get the cold shoul der, The old run a round,

You’re left with no one but (D9)you.

(Em7)Ga bey’s com in’,

(D9)Ga bey’s com in’ to (Emaj7)town.

A town’s a lone ly (B)town,

When you pass (C#dim)through,

And there is (C6)no

one (Em)wait ing (G7)there (Em)for (Dm7)you,

Then it’s a (Emaj7)lone ly town.

You wan der up and (B)down,

The crowds rush (A)by,

A mil lion (C6)fac

es (Em)pass be (G7)fore (Em)your (Am)eye,

Still it’s a (Emaj7)lone ly town.

(E9)Un less (E7)there’s (Bm6)love,

A love that’s shin ing like a (Eb)har bor (Abmaj7)light,

You’re lost in the (G6)night,

un less (B9)there’s (E6)love,

(C#m)The (G#m)world’s an emp ty (F#m7)place,

And ev ’ry (G#m)town’s

a lone ly town.

(E9)Un less (E7)there’s (Bm6)love,

a love that’s shin ing like a (Eb)har bor (Abmaj7)light,

You’re lost in the (Gmaj7)night,

un less (B9)there’s (E6)love,

(C#m)The (G#m)world’s an emp ty (F#m7)place,

And ev ’ry (G#m)town’s

a lone ly (Em)town.
