Lebanese Night Chris de Burgh
Verse 1
[Am]It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,
There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside,
And in her eyes[G] I saw the stars, [Am]
[F]And I felt something happen in my he[Am]art;
Verse 2
[Am]Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,
And[G] when she smiled, the whole w[Am]orld stopped,
[F]It was then I heard the echoes of a c[G]hild;
Chorus
[G]And did you go t[C]o your bed wit[G]h a sweet lull[Dm]aby,
And[C] the sound of th[Am]e guns in the ni[G]ght,
[G]And did you danc[C]e in the fields,[G] did you run for y[Dm]our life,
From[C] the hell that came[Am] down from the sk[G]y?
[Am]On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;
Verse 3
[Am]We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,
[G]Her tears fell down, the s[Am]un came up,
[F]And I saw again the young girl in her ey[G]es;
Chorus
[G]And did you go t[C]o your bed wit[G]h a sweet lull[Dm]aby,
And[C] the sound of th[Am]e guns in the ni[G]ght,
[G]And did you danc[C]e in the fields,[G] did you run for y[Dm]our life,
From[C] the hell that came[Am] down from the sk[G]y?
[Am]On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;
Bridge
All of my life[Am], all I have kno[G]wn,
only a pla[Dm]ce where peace cannot go;[Am]
All over the wor[Am]ld, the gift from before[G],
nothin[Dm]g is left for the children [Am]of war;
Chorus
