April Nights
Henning Kvitnes
***INTRO***
G - Em - G - Em
***VERS 1***
G
Well the rumor’s gone to sleep
Em
And the sky it weeps - softly almost unnoticed
G
And the old dog on the stairs
Em Em7/D
Of a closed down hotel - is probably waiting for summer
C D
And all I can hear is the sound of the train
G Am G/H C G/H
Southbound I guess
Am G/H C
And up along the river the factories
D
They breathe heavily into the night
***VERS 2***
G
And the harbor lights
Em
They look dim tonight - yellow sort of unreal
G
And the black dirty water
Em Em7/D
Under the bridge - that looks just like the way that I feel
C D
And a lonely cruising taxi is coming from the north
G Am G/H C
His headlights are searching for romance
G/H Am G/H
And I wonder to myself
C D
If I’m ever gonna do anything right
***REFRENG***
G D Em Em7/D
‘Cause April nights are for April fools
C Em/H Am G/H C D
And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool
G D Em Em7/D
April Skies are for April stars
C Em/H Am G/H C D
And I miss you tonight but you are so far away
***MELLOMSPILL***
G - Em
***VERS 3***
G
The mocking birds they are silent tonight
Em
Not knowing which way the wind will blow
G
And the mist and the fog
Em Em7/D
The underdog is letting his feeling show
C D
He wonders if he’s ever gonna go
G Am G/H C G/H
South of this promised land
Am G/H
To find some people
C D
Real people that might just understand
***REFRENG***
G D Em Em7/D
‘Cause April nights are for April fools
C Em/H Am G/H C D
And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool
G D Em Em7/D
April Skies are for April stars
C Em/H Am G/H C D
And I miss you tonight but you are so far away
***MELLOMSPILL***
G - Em
***VERS 4***
G
When your life’s lost its course
Em
And you can’t find the torch - that always got you back on the feet
G
In your mouth there’s a taste
Em
Of the yesterdays wine - that got you back on to the street
C D
But you did it all yourself - there’s no one to blame
G Am G/H C
You’ll never be the keeper of the flame
G/H Am G/H C
You just held it for a while - tried to do it with style
D
While singing on the last refrain
***REFRENG***
G D Em Em7/D
‘Cause April nights are for April fools
C Em/H Am G/H C D
And I’m freezing tonight in this April cool
G D Em Em7/D
April Skies are for April stars
C Em/H Am G/H C D
And I miss you tonight but you are so far away
***MELLOMSPILL***
G - Em
***VERS 5***
G
When the rumor’s gone to sleep
Em
And the sky it weeps - softly almost unnoticed
G
And the old dog on the stairs
Em
Of a closed down hotel - is probably waiting for summer
