16. Last Night 4:39
Tabbed by: NBA96
Intro:
Am F Am F Am
Am C Em
Last night I was walking through the harbour,
Dm Em Am
Where the fishing boats were lying on the shore,
C Am G
The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,
C Em F
Where the mayor was making a speech,
C
And the crowd started cheering,
F G Am
When he talked about the glory of it all,
Dm G Am
And the boys coming home from the war,
Am C Em
Last night, they were dancing in the streets,
Dm Em Am
And making music in the alleyways and bars,
C Am G
From a house down by the old town came the sound of guitars,
C Em F
Margarita was waiting inside,
C F G
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
Am Dm G Am
And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
Dm G Am F Am F
The boys coming home from the war,
C F
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
C F
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
C F G Am F
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
C F
Since yesterday, we're just the same,
C F
Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
C F
Since yesterday, we're all the same,"
C G
But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,
F G Am F
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,
Am C Em
Last night I was walking through the shadows,
Dm Em Am
Far away from all the music and the girls,
C Am G
When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,
C Em F
And they stood without any word,
C F G Am
Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
Dm G Am
For a boy left behind in the war,
Dm G Am F Am F
Some boy left behind in the war,
C F
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
C F
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
C F G Am F
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
C F
Since yesterday, we're just the same,
C F
Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
C F
Since yesterday, we're all the same,"
C G
But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,
F G Am F Am F
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,
G Am
I saw it there last night...
