Chris De Burgh - Don't Look Back
INTRO:  Em   C   Em   D  
EmOh, there is a place where the Gwild men go,
When it's Dlate at night and on the Cradio,
EmThey're telling everybody, Gstay at home,
DIt's no time for you to Cbe alone,
It is a place on the Bedge of town,
Just Emshining in a Dhell-fire Clight (they're waiting),
EmAnd if you're there, Dkeep going on,
They're Cwaiting deep inBside___
I'm telling you...
CHORUS:
EmDon't look back
Women in the Cred and black,
D-D-EmDon't look back
They're gonna take your Dheart away,
I'm telling you, Emdon't look back
Women in the Cred and black,
D-D-EmDon't look back
They're gonna steal your Dheart away,
I should have known Embetter
Well, Jimmy Pellin was a Gfriend of mine,
But he Dwent out there one too Cmany times,
EmI saw him running down the Grailroad track,
And I Dtell you boys, he ain't a-Ccoming back,
The early morning is their Bfavourite time,
To find Emsomebody Dout on their Cown (they're waiting),
EmThey're waving arms and Dflashing lights,
CStanding out on the Broad___
I'm telling you...
CHORUS:
EmDon't look back
Women in the Cred and black,
D-D-EmDon't look back
They're gonna take your Dheart away,
I should have known Embetter,
I should have known better
SAX Break:  Em   G   D   C   Em   G   D  C  
So, if you're going to the Bedge of town,
Don't Emlose in a Dhell-fire Clight, (they're waiting)
EmAnd if you're passing, Dkeep going on,
They're Cwaiting there toBnight
I'm begging you....
OUTRO:
EmDon't look backC  
D-D-EmDon't look back,D  
I beg you, Emdon't look back,
Women in the Cred and black,
D-D-EmDon't look back,
They're gonna steal your Dheart away,
I should have known Embetter (don't look Cback),
DShould have known Embetter (don't look Cback),
I Dshould have known Embetter (don't look Cback),
DShould have known Embetter (don't look Cback),
I Dshould have known Embetter.

Chris De Burgh - Don't Look Back

Em C Em D

INTRO:

Em G

Oh, there is a place where the wild men go,

D C

When it's late at night and on the radio,

Em G

They're telling everybody, stay at home,

D C

It's no time for you to be alone,

It is a place on the edge of town,

Em D C

Just shining in a hell-fire light (they're waiting),

Em D

And if you're there, keep going on,

C B

They're waiting deep inside___

I'm telling you...

CHORUS:

Don't look back

Women in the red and black,

D-D-Don't look back

They're gonna take your heart away,

I'm telling you, don't look back

Women in the red and black,

D-D-Don't look back

They're gonna steal your heart away,

I should have known better

Well, Jimmy Pellin was a friend of mine,

D C

But he went out there one too many times,

Em G

I saw him running down the railroad track,

D C

And I tell you boys, he ain't a-coming back,

The early morning is their favourite time,

Em D C

To find somebody out on their own (they're waiting),

Em D

They're waving arms and flashing lights,

C B

Standing out on the road___

I'm telling you...

CHORUS:

Don't look back

Women in the red and black,

D-D-Don't look back

They're gonna take your heart away,

I should have known better,

I should have known better
