The Browns - The old lamplighter

^GHe made the night a little ^Dbrighter, wher^F#ever he would ^Bmgo.. the ^Gold lamp ^Dlighter, ^Gof ^Dlong, long ^A7ago. His snowy ^Ghair was so much ^Dwhiter, be^F#neath the candle ^Bmglow, the ^Gold lamp ^Dlighter, ^Gof ^Dlong, ^Along ^Dago.

^DYou'd hear the ^F#m7patter of his ^Dfeet, ^Das he came ^F#m7toddling down the ^Dstreet. ^DHis smile would hide a ^Alonely heart, you ^Dsee. ^DIf there were ^Emsweethearts in the ^Em7park, he'd pass a ^Emlamp and leave it ^Em7dark.. re^Emmembering the ^Em7days that used to ^A7be. For he re^Dcalled when ^F#m7things were ^Dnew. He loved some^F#m7one who loved him ^Dtoo. Who ^Dwalks with him a^A7lone in me^Dmories.

^DHe made the ^Gnight a little ^Dbrighter, wher^F#ever he would ^Bmgo.. the ^Gold lamp ^Dlighter, ^Gof ^Dlong, ^Along ^Dago.

^DNow if you ^F#m7look up in the ^Dsky, ^Dyou'll under^F#m7stand the reason ^Dwhy.. ^Dthe little stars at ^Anight are all ^Daglow. He turns them ^Emon when night is ^Em7near, he turns them ^Emoff when dawn is ^Em7here.. the ^Emlittle man who ^Em7lived so long ^A7ago.

^A7He made the ^Gnight a little ^Dbrighter, wher^F#ever he would ^Bmgo.. the ^Gold lamp ^Dlighter, ^Gof ^Dlong, ^F#m7long ^Aa...^Dgo.
