Text

DThere's lights on in aGwindow,

And a sign post in theBmsnow,

There's a goldenGcoin beneath your pillow.

DThere's parachutesGabove you,

And life boatsBmbelow,

And a heart thatGloves you,

Yeah I think youBmknow.

DThere's treasure maps wellGhidden,

And diamonds in theBmdirt,

There's a golden

Gthread weaved in to your shirt.

DThere's a kiss for everyGtear,

That rolls down yourBmcheek,

And words I shouldn'tGh

ear and words you shouldn't speak.

DSo tell me oGne more liAe my deDar,

Whisper sofGtly so noAbody heDars,

Keep me haBmnging on fAor another yeGar,

Oh tell me one more lie my dear.

DWell there's whisky andGblankets,

And a bonfire when you'reBmcold,

I'll hold a golden

Gbreath till I'm silver and old.

DWith only hope toGkeep alive,

And only timeBmto kill,

There's a fool that

Gloved you and he loves you still.

DSo tell me oGne more liAe my deDar,

Whisper sofGtly so noAbody heDars,

Keep me haBmnging on fAor another yeGar,

Oh tell me one more lie my dear.

EmSpin me one more tale sweetBmheart,

Weave golden needle and thread through myDheart,

Whisper all the things you know I long toAhear,

Oh tell me oGne more lAie my dDear.
