(add extra measure of E pattern before starting verse)
Em G
The tiny midnight caravan Made its way across the black hills
Am C
As I watched from a distance The slow-going glow
Am D
Their wandering you know Made me pine
G C
For the lamplight Where you lie
E E
Where you lie
If I took you darling To the caverns of my heart Em, G
Would you light the lamp dear? Would you light the lamp dear? Am, C
And see fish without eyes Bats with their heads Am, D
Hanging down towards the ground Would you still come around? G, C
Come around? E

I believe in you In your honesty and your eyes Em, G
Even when I’m sloshing In the muck of my demise Am, C
A large part of me Is always and forever tied Am, D
To the lamplight Of your eyes G, C
Of your eyes E
