Intro: G

       G
Oh the lights outside they're as bright as the sun
             C
They're much brighter than anyone
       G
Oh the girls in the queue yes they're waiting for you
             C
Well they're waiting for their song to be sung

             Am                             C
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
             G                      D
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
             Am                           C
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
            G               D
I wish that I was on the stage

   Am
Oh won't you take a ride with me
            D
Through the Barrowland, our history
     G                     C
And I'll sing you a song or two
Am                                 D
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
G                C
It's all I need, and knew
            Am
And they'll drink and dance and don't you know
     D
It's all part of the show we're going to
G                  C
Maybe have to tell you
    Am                                 D
The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
    C             D        G
Tonight, it's only me and you

     G
Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling
         C
When the band start to play
          G
Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell her what I think
       C
If she gets in my way

            Am                             C
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
             G                      D
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
             Am                           C
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
            G               D
I wish that I was on the stage

   Am
Oh won't you take a ride with me
            D
Through the Barrowland, our history
      G                     C
And I'll sing you a song or two
Am                                 D
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
G                C
It's all I need, and knew
            Am
And they'll drink and dance and don't you know
     D
It's all part of the show we're going to
G                  C
Maybe have to tell you
    Am                                 D
The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
    C             D        G
Tonight, it's only me and you

Bridge: G

             Am                         D
And when the night turns to day and the lights they fade away
            G                   C
I wish that love and life would pass me by
             Am                                D
And when the band stops a song because there's something going on
              G                  C
Well there is magic in the air I swear
      Am                    D
And I wish that I saw Bowie playing on that stage
   C                            D
I wish that I saw something, to make me come of age
