Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb
Out in the filth and the restless mud
Dm Bb
Where hungry strangers are bound
Dm Bb
Down the road in the flesh and blood
Cm Eb F
A certain gentleness can be found
Dm Bb
Through the hours of the naked evening
Dm Bb
While the faceless disappear
Dm Bb
She will surely have you believing
Cm Eb F Fsus4 F
As she whispers softly in your ear
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb Eb F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb F Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb
On the pavement in a silver dress
Dm Bb
What fine ladies might call a gown
Dm Bb
Another night another sweet caress
Cm Eb F
The lace of your empire coming down
Dm Bb
Steet princess on a throne of cream
Dm Bb
High priestess of the multitude
Dm Bb
Fallen angel in a madmans dream
Cm Eb F Fsus4 F
Look how he hovers over you
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb Eb F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb F Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
[Bridge 1]
Eb Bb
The men will come from miles around
Eb Bb
Country temples and the factories
Gm Cm
The pretty rich boys from their suites uptown
Eb F
All would have you gladly on your knees
[Verse 3]
Dm Bb
Some will snear as they pass you by
Dm Bb
Laugh and snicker at the rags you wear
Dm Bb
Curse the very ground you magnify
Cm Eb F Fsus4 F
Some would run their fingers through your hair
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb Eb F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb F Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
[Solo]

[Bridge]
Cm Eb Bb Eb Bb
Tears don't fall they teem
Cm Eb Bb Eb Bb
Dream sweet princess dream
[Verse 4]
Dm Bb
The hours late smoke is heavy
Dm Bb
A drunken sailor is coming to
Dm Bb
The whiskeys straight the spirits ready
Cm Eb F
The boys in the backroom are calling you
Dm Bb
But the night is long your bones are weary
Dm Bb
You need a drink someplace to lie
Dm Bb
The earth may turn but while your near me
Cm Eb F Fsus4 F
Just give me one last kiss goodbye
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb Eb F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb F Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
Bb Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb Eb F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb F Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
