/o/Orton_Beth/Its_not_the_spotlight.crd
By Goffin/Goldburg. From the other side of the She Cries Your Name
single.
[intro]:
| | | | | | | | | |
[verse]:
if I ever feel the light again shining down on me
I dont have to tell you how welcome it would be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
and I just keep on believing that itll come back someday
[chorus]:
its not the spotlight its not the candlelight
its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
it aint the moon light not even the sunlight
but I seen it shining in your eyes
and you know what I mean
sometimes I try to tell myself the light was never real
just a fantasy that used to be the way I used to feel
but you and I know better even though its been so long
now if your memory really serves you well youll never tell me no
wrong
its not the spotlight its not the candlelight
its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
it aint the moon light not even the sunlight
but I seen it shining in your eyes
and you know what I mean
[repeat intro, but lose the D in the last bar]
[no ]
so if I ever feel the light again shining down on me
I wont have to tell you how welcome it would be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
and I just live for believing that itll come back someday
its not the spotlight its not the candlelight
its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
it aint the moon light not even the sunlight
but I seen it shining in your eyes
and you know what I mean
oh yeah I seen it shining in your eyes
and you know what I mean
most of the picking is

in the D majors, there's plenty of this little hammer-on going on

G is 355433, everything else is open (except maybe in the intro where Bm
and Em are played at the 7th fret. maybe)
