Chris De Burgh (with Elissa) - Lebanese Night
[INTRO]
Am
It was late in a Lebanese restaurant
Em Am
In the heat of a Lebanese night
Em Am
There was dancing, people were singing
Em Am
She came in from the garden outside
G
In her eyes (Bi Ouyoona)
Am
I saw the stars (Bshouf E' Njoom)
F E7 E
And I felt something happen in my heart (Uh...)
Am
Then I knew I was going to meet her
Em Am
In the heat of a Lebanese night
Em Am
And the girl inside the woman
Em Am
Who came over to sit by my side
G
And when she smiled
Am
The whole world stopped (Salam)
F G
It was then I heard the echoes of a child
[CHORUS]
C G Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
Am C G
And the sound of the guns in the night
C G Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
Am C G F
From the hell that came down from the sky?
G Am F
On a Lebanese night
Am
On a Lebanese night
We went down to the edge of the water
Em Am
By the light of a Lebanese dawn
Em Am
And she told me all the stories
Em Am
Of her beautiful land in the war
G
Her tears fell down
Am
The sun came up
F G
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes
[CHORUS]
C G Dm
Ghammadt Ouyounak 'a Ghinniyyi Wa Sawt Bi 'llayl shou khifan
Am C G
W' rahh bit dal hayk layliyi init sihran
C G Dm
Shi marra mshit bi hal mada, w' marra hrabt aw min hada
Am C G F
La indak jayi 'al ghada w' kinit ta'ban
G Am F
On a Lebanese night
G Am
On a Lebanese night
[BRIDGE]
G
Ana Ma 'areft illa makan
Dm Am
Ma rahh bi fil minnou 'ssalam
Em
Fi hadaya ktar min ywazze'on
Dm Am
Mish killi el oulad fi hdiyyi ilon
G
Uh... (Uh...)
[CHORUS]
C G Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
Am C G
And the sound of the guns in the night
C G Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
Am C G F
From the hell that came down from the sky?
G Am F
On a Lebanese night
G Am F
On a Lebanese night
G Am F
On a Lebanese night
G Am F
On a Lebanese night
G Am
I will be waiting, in the Lebanon
