CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: F   Am   F   Am   F   Am  F  
Last Amnight I was Am7walking through the Aadd9harbour,
Where the Ffishing boats are Glying on the Amshore,
The Emnews had travelled fast and everyFone went to Gbe,
Where the Cmayor was Gmaking a Fspeech,
And the Ccrowd started cheering,
When he Ftalked about the Gglory of it Amall,
And the Dmboys coming Ghome from the Amwar
Last night, they were Am7dancing in the Aadd9streets,
And making Fmusic in the Galleyways and Ambars,
From a Emhouse down in the old town came the Fsound of Gguitars,
MargaCrita was Gwaiting inFside,
With her Clong black Ehair
Hanging Fdown beneath the Gred light, and she Amsmiled
For the Dmboys coming Ghome from the Amwar,
The Dmboys coming Ghome from the AmwarF  
CHORUS:
And they Csaid we were heroes, they Fsaid we were fine,
We were Ckings in command, we had Fgod on our side,
And we said, "CNothing will make us Fchange in Gany Amway,F  
Since yesterCday (we're just the Fsame),
Since yesterCday (nothing has Fchanged),
Since yesterCday (we're just the Fsame)"
I can feel there's a Cnew kind of hunger inGside, to be satisFfiedG  
I saw it there last AmnightF  Am  
Last night, I was Am7walking through the Aadd9shadows,
Far aFway from all the Gmusic and the Amgirls,
When I Emsaw a soldier waiting with a Fwoman in Gblack,
And they Cstood withGout any Fword,
Just Cstaring at a photograph of Fsomeone, and Gshe began to Amcry,
For a Dmboy left beGhind in the Amwar,
Some Gboy left behind in the AmwarF  Am  F  
CHORUS:
And they Csaid we were heroes, they Fsaid we were fine,
We were Ckings in command, we had Fgod on our side,
And we said, "CNothing will make us Fchange in Gany Amway,F  
Since yesterCday (we're just the Fsame),
Since yesterCday (nothing has Fchanged),
Since yesterCday (we're just the Fsame)"
I can feel there's this Cnew kind of hunger inGside, to be satisFfiedG

CIn the ballroom Dof romance, there's a Emrock band playing
People swaying to the Dbeat
Swaying in the Cheat
In the corner, over Dthere by the door, is a Emlocal Casanova
Yelling for another double Bmscotch
"Hey, steady on the Crocks!"
And when the Dgirl walked in, a comCplete unknown
There was Dmass confusion, this Cbeauty was alone
And then the Groom began to Cshimmer
Every Gheart was beating Cfast
Every Gman who had to Cwin her
Was moving Dfast,
They said, "I'm Emready,C  D  
I'm Emready Dfor roCmance"D

"I'm ready for romance, is here at last"
CIn the ballroom Dof romance, there's a Emyoung man waiting
Standing looking over at the Dscene
It could be you or Cme
Every eye in the Droom was watching, as she Emwalked over to him
Whispered, "Do you want to come with Bmme
I'm heading for the Cbeach"
In her DBMW Csix-thirty-five
Going Dsmooth at ninety, feeling Cgood to be alive
And then the Gmoon began to Cshimmer
Hey, the Gsea was roaring Cin
Just one Gkiss and then his Cheart
Began to Dsing
He said, "I'm Emready,C  D  
I'm Emready Dfor roCmance"D  
Em   D   C   D   C- ? - Csus2- C
