Lebanese Night(Chords)

	        
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, 
	       G                    Am 
And in her eyes I saw the stars,  
F     				    Am 
And I felt something happen in my heart; 

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, 
   G				Am 
And when she smiled, the whole world stopped, 
F 				     G 
It was then I heard the echoes of a child; 



G  	        C	      G	            Dm 
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,  
   C		   Am	           G 
And the sound of the guns in the night,  
G		C		G 	   	  Dm 
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life, 
    C		       Am 		G 
From the hell that came down from the sky?  
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			  Am 
Her tears fell down, the sun came up,  
F					G 
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes; 




G  	        C	      G		    Dm 
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,  
   C		   Am	           G 
And the sound of the guns in the night,  
G		C		G 		  Dm 
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life, 
    C		       Am 		G 
From the hell that came down from the sky?  
Am 
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;
 

Bridge
 
              Am	      G 
All of my life, all I have known,  
          Dm 				Am 
only a place where peace cannot go; 
		Am 			G 
All over the world, the gift from before,  
      Dm			 Am 
nothing is left for the children of war;
