   G – Em – Bm – D

 

   G                     Em               - G            Em

1.    I’ll hold my head up high,      looking to the sky,

G                       Bm            Em               Am      D7

    so they won’t see all the tears that are in my eyes.

G                      Am    C                B7

    No one will know, I’m going through,

    Em  - C       Bm     Am          G         - C – Bm - Am

    my        first lonely night without you.

 

   G                   Em                 - G                Em

2.    I know the night will hide,     sadness I feel inside,

G                     Bm              Em               Am          D7

    no one will know of the smile and my lips won’t tell them.

G                  Am   C                B7

    I’m losing you, and going through,

    Em  - C       Bm     Am          G               - C – G – G7

    my        first lonely night without you.

 

     C                                      G                   G7

As I walk alone, the lonely winds seem to say,

  Cm                                            G             A           D     - D7

“From this darkness on all your nights will be this way”.

 

    G                Em          - G                  Em

3.     So I’ll go on alone,      pretending you’re not gone,

G                Bm              Em             Am          D7

    but I can hide all the moments of love we knew.

G                     Am  C             B7

    Mem’ries of you as I go through,

    Em  - C        Bm     Am          G                   - C – G – G7

    my         first lonely night without you.

 

     C                                      G                   G7

As I walk alone, the lonely winds seem to say,

  Cm                                            G             A           D     - D7

“From this darkness on all your nights will be this way”.
