He made the [Bb]night a [F]little [Gm]brigh[F]ter
Wher[A7]ever he would [Dm]go[F7]
The [Bb]old [B-]lamp[F]lighter [Dm7]
[Bb]Of [F]long [G7]long a[C7]go
His [F]snowy [Bb]hair was [F]so much whit[Gm7]er [F]
Beneath [A7]the candle [Dm]glow [F7]
The [Bb]old [B-]lamp[F]lighter [Dm7]
[Bb]Of [F]long [C7]long a[F]go
[F]You'd hear the patter of his feet
As he came toddling down the street
His smile would hide a lonely heart you see
If there were [Gm]sweethearts in the park
He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
Remebering the days that used to be
For he re[F]calls when dreams were new
He loved someone who loved him too
Who walks with him a[Gm7]lone in [C7]memo[F]ry
He made the [Bb]night a [F]little [Gm7]brigh[F]ter
Wher[A7]ever he would [Dm]go[F7]
The [Bb]old [B-]lamp[F]lighter [Dm7]
[Bb]Of [F]long [C7]long a[F]go
Maybe easier to play in G (?)
He made the [C]night a [G]little [Am]brigh[G]ter
Wher[B7]ever he would [Em]go[G7]
The [C]old [C#-]lamp[G]lighter [Em7]
[C]Of [G]long [A7]long a[D7]go
His [G]snowy [C]hair was [G]so much whit[Am7]er [G]
Beneath [B7]the candle [Em]glow [G7]
The [C]old [C#-]lamp[G]lighter [Em7]
[C]Of [G]long [D7]long a[G]go
You'd hear the patter of his feet
As he came toddling down the street
His smile would hide a lonely heart you see
If there were [Am]sweethearts in the park
He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
Remebering the days that used to be
For he re[G]calls when dreams were new
He loved someone who loved him too
Who walks with him a[Am7] lone in [D7]memo[G]ry
He made the [C]night a [G]little [Am7]brigh[G]ter
Wher[B7]ever he would [Em]go[G7]
The [C]old [C#-]lamp[G]lighter [Em7]
[C]Of [G]long [D7]long a[G]go
