Capo: 2
I like to play this with a Capo on 2 and in 3/4 time. A poor substitute for Hawksley's version but at least it's recognizable.
Cwhen societies crumble and everythinFg's gone C and the cars areC all rusted awFay and thereC ain't no more money and there's nFothing to bCuy D- G and all that we have is the day
Cwhen the world becomes silent no plaFnes in the Cair when Cthe voices just gather to Fsing whCen the guns are the fence post the cars Fare the doghouCse D- G and the telephones no longer ring
whFat, what of the nigCht wiFth no electricalC ligGht F so what thGen?
Cyou, you and the candlFes D- G will be all that i need Cyour face bathed in the fireFlight D- G will be all i want to see Fand i'll still sing you a sGong E7 A- G that will last the whole night long oh Fyou, you and the canGdles
when the grocery stores are hollow inside and the airports are filled with a breeze after the anarchy finally subsides when you reckon with how it will be when empires are humbled before the eyes of the people and the truth will be like a parade when industry's fallen we'll make our own clothes now and gifts of our hands rise again and what, what of the night with no electrical light so what then? you, you and the candles will be all that i need your face bathed in the firelight will be all i want to see and i'll still sing you a song that will last the whole night long you, you and the candles in a waste paper basket the timing's fantastic for lovers to mean what they say and a night lit in candles on stained wooden mantles keep us safe 'til the night turns to day you, you and the storm clouds and the puddles at our feet the lightning cuts through the heavens and light you so briefly and i'll still write you a song to last the whole night long you, you and the candles you, you and the candles
