Lebanese Night Chris de Burgh
INTRO: Am
It was late in a Lebanese restaurant
[Em]In [Am]the heat of a Lebanese night
[Em]The[Am]re was dancing, people were singing
[Em]She[Am] came in from the garden outside
[G]In her eyes (Bi Ouyoona)
[Am]I saw the stars (Bshouf E' Njoom)
[F]An[E7]d I[E] felt something happen in my heart (Uh...)
[Am]Then I knew I was going to meet her
[Em]In [Am]the heat of a Lebanese night
[Em]And[Am] the girl inside the woman
[Em]Who[Am] came over to sit by my side
[G]And when she smiled
[Am]The whole world stopped (Salam)
[F]It[G] was then I heard the echoes of a child
CHORUS:
[C]An[G]d [Dm]did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
[Am]And[C] t[G]he sound of the guns in the night
[C]An[G]d [Dm]did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
[Am]Fro[C]m [G]th[F]e hell that came down from the sky?
[G]On[Am] a [F]Lebanese night
[Am]On a Lebanese night
We went down to the edge of the water
[Em]By [Am]the light of a Lebanese dawn
[Em]And[Am] she told me all the stories
[Em]Of [Am]her beautiful land in the war
[G]Her tears fell down
[Am]The sun came up
[F]An[G]d I saw again the young girl in her eyes
CHORUS:
[C]Gh[G]am[Dm]madt Ouyounak 'a Ghinniyyi Wa Sawt Bi 'llayl shou khifan
[Am]W' [C]ra[G]hh bit dal hayk layliyi init sihran
[C]Sh[G]i [Dm]marra msh*t bi hal mada, w' marra hrabt aw min hada
[Am]La [C]in[G]da[F]k jayi 'al ghada w' kinit ta'ban
[G]On[Am] a [F]Lebanese night
[G]On[Am] a Lebanese night
BRIDGE:
[G]Ana Ma 'areft illa makan
[Dm]Ma [Am]rahh bi fil minnou 'ssalam
[Em]Fi hadaya ktar min ywazze'on
[Dm]Mis[Am]h killi el oulad fi hdiyyi ilon
[G]Uh... (Uh...)
CHORUS:
[C]An[G]d [Dm]did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
[Am]And[C] t[G]he sound of the guns in the night
[C]An[G]d [Dm]did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
[Am]Fro[C]m [G]th[F]e hell that came down from the sky?
