Barrowland Ballroom Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh the lights outside they're
as bright as the sun
They're much [C]brighter
than anyone
[G]Oh the girls in the queue yes
they're waiting for you
Well they're [C]waiting for
their song to be sung
And when the night [Am]turns to day
and all [C]the people go away
It's not [G]the same,
tell me who's [D]to blame?
And when [Am]the stars shine so bright
on [C]the cold December night
I wish [G]that I was on [D]the stage
Oh won't [Am]you take a ride with me

[Verse 2]
[D]
Through the Barrowland history
And [G]I'll sing you a song [C]or two
People [Am]they may stop and stare
[D]but baby I just don't care
[G]It's only me an[C]d you
And the drink [Am]and dance
and drugs you know
[D]It's all part of the show we go [G]to
Maybe I should tell [C]you
That people [Am]they may stop and stare
[D]but baby I just don't care
[C]Tonight, [D]it's only me
[G]and you[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Oh nothing beats the feeling
of the high Barrowland ceiling
When [C]the band start [Cm]to play
[G]Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell
her what I think if [C]she gets in my way
And when the night [Am]turns to day
and all the people [C]go away
It's not [G]the same,
tell me who's [D]to blame?
And when the stars [Am]shine so bright
on [C]the cold December night
I wish [G]that I was on [D]the stage
Oh won't [Am]you take a ride with me

[Verse 4]
[D]
Through the Barrowland history
An[G]d I'll sing you a song [C]or two
People [Am]they may stop and stare
[D]but baby I just don't care
[G]It's only me and [C]you
And the drink [Am]and dance
and drugs you know
[D]It's all part of the show we go [G]to
Maybe I should tell [C]you
That people [Am]they may stop and stare
[D]but baby I just don't care
[C]Tonight, [D]it's only me
[G]and you
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
And when [Am]the night turns to day and
[D]the lights they fade away
I wish that [G]love and life
[C]would pass me by
And when the band [Am]stops a song because
[D]there's something going on
Well there [G]is magic in the air
[C]I swear
And I wish [Am]that I saw Bowie,
[D]playing on that stage
[Am]I wish that I saw something,
[D]to make me come of age

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am][D][G][C]
[Am][D][G][C]
Oh won't [Am]you take

[Verse 6]
a ride
with me
[D]Through the Barrowland history
And I'll [G]sing you a song [C]or two
[Am]People they may stop and stare
[D]but baby I just don't care
[G]It's only me and you[C]
And the drink [Am]and dance
and drugs you know
[D]It's all part of the show we go to
[G]Maybe I [C]should tell you
That people [Am]they may stop and stare
[D]but baby I just don't care
Tonight, [C]it's [D]only me [G]and you
