  			Verse 
C             E 
Ripple in the midnight clouds 
F               C 
No stars on the horizon 
C               E  
Flicker from an old street light  
F                                C 
Attracts the moths who claim the night 

C               E 
Satellites that pass overhead 
F                C 
In the rib caged sky 
C                   E 
If they stop, we’re good as dead 
F                    C 
So then what good am I 

Chorus 
E                      F 
‘Cause I’ve heard from encounters with the past 
Dm                   G 
The creatures gentle glowing never lasts  
E                C 
So won’t someone tell me after all 
F                    G            C 
What happened to the fireflies of Montreal 

Verse 
C               E 
Darkness in the alleyway 
F            C 
At least for some 
C              E 
In the sixties flew away 
F                         C 
Left a few, now there are none  

Chorus 
E                   F 
But I’ve heard from encounters with the past 
Dm                   G 
The creatures gentle glowing never lasts  
E                C 
So won’t someone tell me after all 
F                    G            C 
What happened to the fireflies of Montreal
