Chris De Burgh - Lebanese Night Ukulele

INTRO: Am
 
 
It was late in a Lebanese restaurant
Em     Am
In the heat of a Lebanese night
Em        Am
There was dancing, people were singing
Em       Am
She came in from the garden outside
       G
In her eyes (Bi Ouyoona)
          Am
I saw the stars (Bshouf E' Njoom)
      F                           E7 E
And I felt something happen in my heart (Uh...)
 
 
       Am
Then I knew I was going to meet her
Em     Am
In the heat of a Lebanese night
Em      Am
And the girl inside the woman
Em       Am
Who came over to sit by my side
             G
And when she smiled
                Am
The whole world stopped (Salam)
       F                            G
It was then I heard the echoes of a child
 
 
CHORUS:
            C                     G          Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
        Am           C           G
And the sound of the guns in the night
            C                            G            Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
         Am             C             G     F
From the hell that came down from the sky?
     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night
              Am
On a Lebanese night
 
 
 
We went down to the edge of the water
Em     Am
By the light of a Lebanese dawn
Em      Am
And she told me all the stories
Em     Am
Of her beautiful land in the war
               G
Her tears fell down
             Am
The sun came up
      F                               G
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes
 
 
CHORUS:
           C                               G             Dm
Ghammadt Ouyounak 'a Ghinniyyi Wa Sawt Bi 'llayl shou khifan
            Am          C            G
W' rahh bit dal hayk layliyi init sihran
           C                          G            Dm
Shi marra msh*t bi hal mada, w' marra hrabt aw min hada
         Am       C                 G     F
La indak jayi 'al ghada w' kinit ta'ban
     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night
     G        Am
On a Lebanese night
  
 
BRIDGE:
                     G
Ana Ma 'areft illa makan
           Dm             Am
Ma rahh bi fil minnou 'ssalam
                          Em

              Dm               Am
Mish killi el oulad fi hdiyyi ilon
                   G
Uh...    (Uh...)
 
 
CHORUS:  
            C                     G          Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
        Am           C           G
And the sound of the guns in the night
            C                            G            Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
         Am             C             G     F
From the hell that came down from the sky?
     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night
     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night
     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night
     G        Am    F
On a Lebanese night
          G                   Am
I will be waiting, in the Lebanon
