6 6 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -7 7
When the night re-turns just like a friend
-10 -10 -10 9 9 9 9 -8 8
When the eve-ning comes to set me free
-6 -6 -6 6 6 -6 -7 7 7 -7 -6
When the qui-et hours that wait be-yond the day
6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
Make peace-ful sounds in me
8 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 8 8
Took a drag from my last cig-a-rette
-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 9 9 -10 9
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
-6 -6 6 6 -6 -7 6 7 -7 6
I closed my eyes, and I could make it real
6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
And feel it one more time
-6 -7 7 -7 -6
Can you hear it, babe?
5 5 5 -4 -4
Can you hear it, babe?
6 6 6 -5 -5
From an-oth-er time
-5 -5 -5 5 5
From an-oth-er place
-5 -5 5 -4 5 6 6
Do you re-mem-ber it, babe?
7 7 -7 -7 7 6 7 7 -7 -7 7 6
And the ra-di-o played like a car-ni-val tune
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
As we lay in our bed in the oth-er room
7 7 -7 -7 8 6 7 7 -7 7 6 -6
When we gave it a-way for the sake of a dream
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
In a pen-ny ar-cade, if you know what I mean
5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 5 5
Here's to the songs we used to sing
-5 -5 -5 -5 6 6 6 -4 5
And here's to the times we used to know
4 -6 -6 6 -6 -7 6 7 -7 -6
It's hard to hold them in our arms a-gain
6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
But hard to let them go
7 -7 7 -7 -6
Do you hear it, babe?
5 5 5 -4 -4
Do you hear it, babe?
6 6 6 6 -5 -5
It was a-noth-er time
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 5
It was a-noth-er place
-5 -5 5 -4 5 6 6
Do you re-mem-ber it, babe?
7 7 -7 -7 7 6 7 7 -7 -7 7 6
And the ra-di-o played like a car-ni-val tune
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
As we lay in our bed in the oth-er room
7 7 -7 -7 8 6 7 7 -7 7 6 -6
When we gave it a-way for the sake of a dream
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
In a pen-ny ar-cade, if you know what I mean
repeat and fade
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
if you know what I mean, if you know what I mean
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
