Barclay James Harvest - One Night
(from "Time Honoured Ghosts", 1975)
 EmYou took all my Ammoney
CI gave you no Emname
 EmMy love and my Emmoney
Did you Amthink I would chase it in the Drain? 
 EmMy eyes are now Amopen
 CBut what do I Emsee?
 COne ride after Emmidnight
Had I Amthought it would mean that much to Amme? 
 AmEverybody needs Dsomeone to love
[Am] Everybody needs  A[D]friend
 AmEverybody needs Dsomeone to care
EmDo you think you can make it in the Gend?
Do you Cthink that you can make it, my Emfriend? 
 EmI thought it was Ameasy
 CBut what did I Emknow
 COf old men and Emfirst blood
Or the Amdrunk who gets taken blow by Dblow? 
 EmThe dice are all Amloaded
 CYou pay by the Emthrow
 CBut you pay the Emloser
Seems the Amrain is turning into Dsnow 
 AmEverybody needs Dsomeone to love
[Am] Everybody needs  A[D]friend
 AmEverybody needs Dsomeone to care
EmDo you think you can make it in the Gend?
Do you Cthink that you can make it, my Emfriend? 
 EmWe stand round your Amdoorways
 CYou hang on the Emwalls
 CYour frames are your Emwindows
 AmPut your bodies on the Dstalls
 EmYou take all our Ammoney
 CWe leave you no Emname
 CWe're dealt just the Emone card
But the Amdealer plays in every Dgame 
 AmEverybody needs Dsomeone to love
[Am] Everybody needs  A[D]friend
 AmEverybody needs Dsomeone to care
EmDo you think you can make it in the Gend?
Do you Cthink that you can make it, my Emfriend?
