Take Me Back To 1958

Intro C  G  Am  F  G 

                 C 
Down where the harbour met the evening train 

            Am 
Street lights shimmer through the window pane 

          F 
Your coat caught gold from a theatre sign 

               G 
And the whole downtown felt yours and mine 

          C 
We passed old cafes dressed in light 

       Am 
Passed laughing strangers in the Friday night 

          F 
And every corner we wandered through 

                 G 
Felt like a song the moment I found you 

   C                         Am 
Oh, I still hear the sound of your footsteps on that downtown ground 

     F                             G 
And I still see those stars above shining on our first young love 

          C                    Am                F 
Take me back to the bay lights of 1958 where the neon burned 

F                 G 
And the young hearts stayed up late 

         C                                  Am 
By the shore, by the sun, by the streets that held our fate 

F                               G 
Take me back (take me back, take me back) 

                C      F 
To the bay lights of '58 (take me back) 

C  G 
(Take me back) 

   C 
We rode uphill where the cold fog fell 

Am 
Streetcar humming like a secret spell 

                    F 
The picture house shown through the misty blue 

       G 
And the whole night leaned a little closer to you 

         C 
There was music drifting from somewhere below 

Am 
A jukebox playing for the late night show 

      F 
And every note 

                 G 
In the ocean, air still sounds like your name when it finds me there 

   C                                  Am 
Oh, I still hear your hand in the cool night breeze by the railing 

          F 
Sand and I still hear that old love song 

G 
Playing like it never moved on 

     C                  Am 
Take me back to the bay lights of 1958 

F 
Where the neon burned 

               G 
And the young hearts stayed up late 

         C                                 Am 
By the shore, by the signs, by the streets that held our faith 

F                               G 
Take me back (take me back, take me back) 

      C   G   C 
To the bay lights of '58' 

Solo 

 Am  F  G 

      C 
Now the years roll on like the western tide 

           Am 
But I still see your face when the lamps come alive 

       F 
On every hill and every shore 

          G 
I find your shadow there once more 

      C 
The fog comes down and the night turns blue 

           Am 
And every old street leads me back to you 

       F 
If time could spin like a little 45 

          G 
I'd go right back and bring that world alive 

      C 
Maybe we were only young 

      Am 
Maybe love was just one song 

       F 
Maybe the city made us believe 

          G 
Some hearts could stay and never leave 

      C 
But when the moon hangs over the bay 

           Am 
I still can hear your soft voice say 

       F 
"Don't let this night just fade away 

          G 
Don't let this dream grow old someday" 

      C 
Take me back to the bay lights of 1958 

           Am 
Walk the walk where the streetcar sang 

       F 
And the harbor held us late 

          G 
While your eyes found mine 

      C 
In the soft electric haze 

     Am 
Take me back, take me back, take me back 

      F                  G                    C 
To the bay lights of '58
