Take Me Back To 1958

[Intro] C  G  Am  F  G

                 C
Down where the harbour met the evening train

            Am
Street lights shimmer through the window pane

          F
Your coat caught gold from a theatre sign

               G
And the whole downtown felt yours and mine

          C
We passed old cafes dressed in light

       Am
Passed laughing strangers in the Friday night

          F
And every corner we wandered through

                 G
Felt like a song the moment I found you

   C                         Am
Oh, I still hear the sound of your footsteps on that downtown ground

     F                             G
And I still see those stars above shining on our first young love

          C                    Am                F
Take me back to the bay lights of 1958 where the neon burned

F                 G
And the young hearts stayed up late

         C                                  Am
By the shore, by the sun, by the streets that held our fate

F                               G
Take me back (take me back, take me back)

                C      F
To the bay lights of '58 (take me back)

C  G
(Take me back)

   C
We rode uphill where the cold fog fell

Am
Streetcar humming like a secret spell

                    F
The picture house shown through the misty blue

       G
And the whole night leaned a little closer to you

         C
There was music drifting from somewhere below

Am
A jukebox playing for the late night show

      F
And every note

                 G
In the ocean, air still sounds like your name when it finds me there

   C                                  Am
Oh, I still hear your hand in the cool night breeze by the railing

          F
Sand and I still hear that old love song

G
Playing like it never moved on

     C                  Am
Take me back to the bay lights of 1958

F
Where the neon burned

               G
And the young hearts stayed up late

         C                                 Am
By the shore, by the signs, by the streets that held our faith

F                               G
Take me back (take me back, take me back)

      C   G   C
To the bay lights of '58'

[Solo]

 Am  F  G

      C
Now the years roll on like the western tide

           Am
But I still see your face when the lamps come alive

       F
On every hill and every shore

          G
I find your shadow there once more

      C
The fog comes down and the night turns blue

           Am
And every old street leads me back to you

       F
If time could spin like a little 45

          G
I'd go right back and bring that world alive


      C
Maybe we were only young

      Am
Maybe love was just one song

       F
Maybe the city made us believe

          G
Some hearts could stay and never leave

      C
But when the moon hangs over the bay

           Am
I still can hear your soft voice say

       F
"Don't let this night just fade away

          G
Don't let this dream grow old someday"


      C
Take me back to the bay lights of 1958

           Am
Walk the walk where the streetcar sang

       F
And the harbor held us late

          G
While your eyes found mine

      C
In the soft electric haze

     Am
Take me back, take me back, take me back

      F                  G                    C
To the bay lights of '58
