The Old Lamplighter Acordes

	  
C           F              C 
He made the night a little brighter 

    E7            Am 
Wherever he would go 

    F        C                D7   G7 
The old lamp lighter  of long long ago 

          F                C 
His snowy hair was so much whiter 

  E7               Am       F        C 
Beneath the candle glow the old lamp lighter 

        G7   C 
Of long long ago 

  
                
You'd hear the patter of his feet 

  
As he came toddling down the street 

  
His smile would hide a lonely heart you see 

              F 
If there were sweethearts in the park 

  
He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark 

                                 G7 
Remembering the days that used to be 

       C 
For he recalled when things were new 

          
He loved someone who loved him too 

                   G7       C 
Who walks with him alone in memories 

  
            F              C 
He made the night a little brighter 

    E7            Am 
Wherever he would go 

    F        C               G7   C 
The old lamp lighter of long long ago 
  
             
  
Now if you look up in the sky 

                       
You'll understand the reason why 

                     
The little stars at night are all aglow 

              F 
He turns them on when night is near 

               
He turns them off when dawn is here 

                                 G7 
The little man who lived so long ago 

  
            F              C 
He made the night a little brighter 

    E7            Am 
Wherever he would go 

    F        C               G7   C 
The old lamp lighter of long long ago
