Capo 4 Em C G D Tonight I am lonesome for you Em C G D It hurts even worse to know you feel the same way too Em C G D Out there all along, in a place where I belong Em C G D Oh, tonight I am lonesome for you It hurts to know you are so far away The nights are getting longer and they’re swallowing up the days The highways in between - hum to the sound of your heartbeat Oh, It hurts to know you are so far away Am G C D & I would trade every last light in New York City Am G C D To be there tonight with you in New Orleans Am G C D Floating like ghosts through the town, Spanish moss tumblin’ round Am G C D Oh I’d trade all the light, trade all the lights, trade all the lights~ ~ - for you I wish it wasn’t all just in my mind We’d take a train to the quarter and we’d paint it red, do it all on my dime The moon makes the darkness wait, a crescent kiss in the creole state & I would trade every last light in New York City To be there tonight with you in New Orleans Floating like ghosts through the town, Spanish moss tumblin’ round Oh I’d trade all the light, trade all the lights, trade all the lights~ ~ - for you
