[C][G][D][Bm]
[A][Asus4][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Could you put your [D]light on please
It's [Em]kind of dark tonight
[G]And [A]I feel a little lonely
Yes, [G]I need a little light
[D]

[Verse 2]
Could you put your light on please
Let me [Em]hear a friendly sound
[G]I could m[A]ake it through 'til morning
If you could [G]let your light
shine [D]down

[Verse 3]
She moved so well [A]'Cause
she was a dancer
She went sliding through my questions
Glid[Bm]ing 'round t[C]he answer

[Verse 4]
[C]Whatever it was, she knew it [G]was [D]holy
[A]And each time I [Bm]tried [C]to hold her
Her [G]smile came sad and slowly
[D]She said,
[A]"No [Em]one [A]knows me"[D]

[Verse 5]
Could you put your [D]light on please
It's [Em]kind of dark tonight
And [A]I feel a little lonely
Yes, [G]I need a little light
[D]

[Verse 6]
Could you put your light on please
Let me [Em]hear a friendly sound
I could [A]make it through 'til morning
If you could [G]let your light shine [D]down

[Verse 7]
[D]She [A]had a dream
I had my typewriter
[Bm]While I was hacking
out such a heavy world
[A]She was weaving one much lighter

[Verse 8]
But I'll [Bm]never [C]know
Just how much it [B]cost [Bm]her[Bm][E]
But each time I slept beside her
something turned and [A]tossed her
And [Esus4]it did ti[Em]ll I lost her
[Esus4]Bright times were brighter Than they'd

[Verse 9]
[E]
ever been [A]be
fore, I tell you
Night times were lighter
[E]But they'll never, never be no more

[Verse 10]
Could you put your [E]light on please
It's kind of [A]dark tonight
And I feel a little lonely
Yes, I need a little light
Could you put your light on please Let me hear a friendly sound

[Verse 11]
I [A]could
make [Esus4]it through 'til morning
If you could [A]let your light shine down
[E]

[Verse 12]
Could you put your light on please
It's [A]kind of dark tonight
And [Esus4]I feel a li[A]ttle lo[E]nel[Esus4]y
Yes, I [A]need a little light
