[Intro]
When love was foundC  
I kept my hGope just like I'd hoped to
Then sang to the Amsea for feelings Gdeep blueF.
Coming dowCn
We've had Gproblems that we've grown through
But I bet you Amdream of what you Gcould do.F  
[Verse]
At Fseventeen GI was alrAmight
Was like Fnothing I could Gfeel inAmside
And Fwishing you Gwere here toAmnight
Is like holding oFn.G  Am  
But I still Fget to see your Gface, rightAm?
And that's like Fnothing they can Gtake, right?Am  
So there won't be no Ffeeling in the Gfirelight
AmHoping this will be right
FTime to show your Gworth child.Am  
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when her Fheart broke over stubborn shit
That's Gno way to be living kid
The Amangel of death is ruthless.
And I'm always thinking Fsummertime with the bikes out
Gpushing our luck getting wiped out
AmDays with nothing but laughing loud.
Underneath my coat won't you Ftap my shoulder, hold my hand
GNights with nothing but dark in there
AmYou can be my armour then.
FIslands smiles and cardigans
The Gnights that we've been drinking in
We're Amhere to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harbouring.
ConFfessions should be better planned
AlGone, that night, I'm surely damned
AmRun away, I'll understand.
[Chorus]
What's important is this Fevening I will not forget
GPurple, blue, orange, red
These Amcolours of feeling, give me love, I'll put my heart in it.
I Fthink about it all the time
The Glights went out, you were fine
You Amkinda struggle not to shine.
I still love you though,F

An Evening I Will Not Forget

by Dermot Kennedy

Lyrics & chords · Original key

Very similar to the original song, piano chords can be replaced by guitar chords and it

still sounds nice.

[Intro]

When love was found

I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to

Am G F

Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue.

Coming down

We've had problems that we've grown through

Am G F

But I bet you dream of what you could do.

[Verse]

F G Am

At seventeen I was alright

F G Am

Was like nothing I could feel inside

F G Am

And wishing you were here tonight

F G Am

Is like holding on.

F G Am

But I still get to see your face, right?

F G Am

And that's like nothing they can take, right?

F G

So there won't be no feeling in the firelight

Hoping this will be right

F G Am

Time to show your worth child.

[Pre-Chorus]

I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit

That's no way to be living kid

The angel of death is ruthless.

And I'm always thinking summertime with the bikes out

pushing our luck getting wiped out

Days with nothing but laughing loud.

Underneath my coat won't you tap my shoulder, hold my hand

Nights with nothing but dark in there

You can be my armour then.

Islands smiles and cardigans

The nights that we've been drinking in

We're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harbouring.

Confessions should be better planned

Alone, that night, I'm surely damned

Run away, I'll understand.

[Chorus]

What's important is this evening I will not forget

Purple, blue, orange, red

These colours of feeling, give me love, I'll put my heart in it.

I think about it all the time

The lights went out, you were fine

You kinda struggle not to shine.

I still love you though,

I still love you always.

So hold me when I'm home,

keep the evenings long

Crack and break and part ways.

I still love you though,

I still love you always.

So hold me when I'm home,

keep the evenings long

Crack and break and part ways.

And I wonder if I can let it down.

[Outro]

F G Am

It's for real, it's for real.

F G Am

It's for real, it's for real.
