Intro Am Em
AmIt was late in a Lebanese restaurant,
in the heat of a Lebanese night,
GThere was dancing, people were singing,
CshEe came in from the garden outside,
GAnAmd in her eyes I saw the stars,
FAnCd EI felt something happen in my heart;
AmThen I knew I was going to meet her
in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman,
who came over to sit by my side,
GAnAmd when she smiled, the whole world stopped,
FItG was then I heard the echoes of a child;
CAnGd did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
AmAndC tGhe sound of the guns in the night,
CAnGd did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
AmFroCm Gthe hell that came down from the sky?
FOnG aAm LeFbaGneAmse night, on a Lebanese night;
AmWe went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,
GHeAmr tears fell down, the sun came up,
FAnGd I saw again the young girl in her eyes;
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;
All of my life, all I have known,
only a place where peace cannot go;
All over the world, the gift from before,
nothing is left for the children of war;
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
I will be waiting, in the Lebanon.
