C7

[Verse 1]
             Fm               C
In Rotterdam, ’Seventy-Seven
 C7          F    G
I had a birthday
       C7                       B7
We were on the road to nowhere
            E7       Am            F
Looking for somewhere to make it a night
             G  C F G F C F G
To call it a day___


[Verse 2]
       F    C      F   G     F    C    F  G  F
And we drank cheap champagne from Italy
       C    F    G     F       C  F  G
It was pink, alcoholic and bubbly
F       C                                  F
And the boys in the band gave me a candle
                            G7
Matches to light it, for my bedside table
    Dm                           G            C       F
And I let you light it for the first time that night

 
[Instrumental]
C  Eaug  F C E7  Am  D7  G7  E7  Am  A7  D7  C  E7  F  D7  G  C


[Verse 3]
G7                            C     D7  C  Eaug
So, light the candle one more time
F   C E7 Am          D7
For tomorrow I’ll be going 
         G7   E7           Am     A7
And I’ve grown used to the light
D7          C          E7         F
Night after night, the same flame glowing
          D7            G       C       G7
Won’t you light it just one more time


[Verse 4]
                     C     D7  C  Eaug
God knows, I want to stay
F  C    E7   Am         D7
By your side, night and day
       G7           E7           Am    A7
And to hold you and be held in return
      D7           C        E7                      F
As we did from the south of France clear through to Galway
  D7             G             C     C7
I can’t help the things that I say


[Outro]

In Rotterdam, ’Seventy-Seven
 C7          F    G  C F G F C F G F C
I had a birthday
