Green Eyes

CAPO: 4 

Intro: Am  C  G  C ~ ~ Am  F  C  G  Am 

                         C 
Every night we light the candle 
     G                 C    ~ ~ 
That stands beside our bed 
    Am                        G       F 
And sometimes the flame's too much to handle 
       ~        C                     G 
That's what you said, that's what you said 
               Am 
And you should know 
            F                                  C 
Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn 
    F                           C 
You followed me, watching every move 
               G     ~ ~ ~  
Matching every turn 



     C                            G 
Your green eyes they don't miss a thing 
     Am                   G     F 
They hold me like the sun going down 
D7                         G 
Warm me like a fire in the night 
          Am     G  Am 
Without a sound 


                             C 
And you were waiting 'till I heard 
        G                                  C    ~ ~ Am 
Just as patient as that love-light in your eyes 
                 G     F 
You never threw away a word 
   ~    C              G 
Or ever talked in a disguise 
           Am 
I ought to know 
           F                          C 
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea 
  F                                      C 
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me 
       G   ~ ~ ~  
So openly 


 
     C                            G 
Your green eyes they don't miss a thing 
     Am                   G     F 
They hold me like the sun going down 
D7                         G 
Warm me like a fire in the night 
          Am     G  
Without a sound 


Instrumental: ~ ~ ~ C  G  Am  G F  D7  G   Am7  G  Am 


                               C 
The first time I ever saw your laughter 
      G                              C  ~ ~ 
Break loose inside and tumble out to me 
   Am                           G      F 
My heart knew it had found what it was after 
    ~  C           G 
And it came so easily 
          Am 
We should know 
      F                                   C 
After all the years of the hard and heavy times 
        F                                   C 
Now our days go by like best friends' story lines 
          G     ~ ~ ~  
Yours and mine 



     C                            G 
Your green eyes they don't miss a thing 
     Am                   G     F 
They hold me like the sun going down 
D7                         G 
Warm me like a fire in the night 
          Am             G   
Without a sound, hmm hmm hmm 
          Am            
Without a sound
