The Old Lamplighter

Written by Charles Tobias and Nat Simon

	  		
             G               D       F#      F#7      Bm   
He made the night a little brighter wherever  
                           G       D       G    D       A7 
He would go the old lamp lighter of long, long ago. 
           G                 D                              F#        F#7     Bm 
His snowy hair was so much whiter. Beneath the candle's glow  
      G        D     G   D     A7    D   A7     D                             D6  
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago. You'd hear the patter of his feet 
            D                  D6                          D                   D6               D 
As he came toddlin' down the street, the smile would hide a lonely heart, you see 
               Em                 Em7                            Em               Em7 
If there were sweethearts in the park, he'd pass a lamp and leave it dark, 
   Em            Em7              Em    A7                D                     D6 
Remembering the days that used to be, for he recalls when dreams were new, 
           D                     D6                              D               A7          D 
He loved someone who loved him, too, who walks with him alone in memory. 
             G               D       F#      F#7      Bm   
He made the night a little brighter wherever  
                           G       D       G    D       A7 
He would go the old lamp lighter of long, long ago. 
           G                 D                              F#        F#7     Bm 
His snowy hair was so much whiter. Beneath the candle's glow  
      G        D     G   D     A7    D   A7     D                             D6  
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago. You'd hear the patter of his feet 
            D                  D6                          D                   D6               D 
As he came toddlin' down the street, the smile would hide a lonely heart, you see 
               Em                 Em7                          Em                 Em7 
Now if you look up in the sky, you'll understand the reason why 
   Em            Em7              Em    A7             D                     D6 
The little stars at night are all aglow, he turns them on when night is here, 
          D                     D6                            D               A7          D 
He turns them off when dawn is near, the little man we loved so long ago. 
             G               D       F#      F#7      Bm   
He made the night a little brighter wherever  
                           G       D       G    D       A7 
He would go the old lamp lighter of long, long ago. 
           G                 D                              F#        F#7     Bm 
His snowy hair was so much whiter. Beneath the candle's glow  
      G        D     G   D     A7    D   A7     D                             D6  
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago. You'd hear the patter of his feet 
            D                  D6                          D                   D6               D 
As he came toddlin' down the street, the smile would hide a lonely heart, you see
