Rock Ballad – Elliott Murphy

Verse:
E
When the moon was just right
A B
We could turn off the light and just listen
E
And we'd pray to the night
E
And we'd hold on so tight
A B
You could hear crystal stars as they'd glisten
E
Lovers in vain
E
Like to walk in the rain
A B
Like to hear distant trains emotion
E
And the late radio
E
We would play it so low
A B
No one must know this devotion
Chorus:
E A E A
Rock ballad - Rock ballad
F# C#m B A
You know baby and I used to listen all night long
E B
To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone
Verse:
E
And these jobs and these schools
E
Teach romance is for fools
A B
And the dream always ends upon waking
E
And we all kept our cool like a hustler shoot pool
A B
And soon your whole life is spent faking
E
Cause to try is to fail
E
And as the wind left your sails
A B
All you heard was the sound of their laughter
E
But I was running so fast
E
With the wind racing past
A B
All I heard was a voice say "go after her"
Chorus:
E A E A
Rock ballad - Rock ballad
F# C#m B A
You know baby and I used to listen all night long
E B
To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone
gone
Verse
E
And these soul clarinets
E
And the feelings we get
A B
It's the songs of regret I remember
E
And we placed our last bet
E
On loves long shot request
A B
As they spun the roulette that September
E
Now let's all raise our glass
E
For a drink to the past
A B
And a drink to the last chance taken
E
And let's drink once again to our long lost friends
A B
No, we can't let it end the surf's breaking
E A E A
