Version 1
THE SMITHS: “THIS NIGHT HAS OPENED MY EYES”
Chords by Ney Young
[Verse 1]
Bm7 F#7sus4 Bm7 F#7sus4 GM7 DM7 GM7 A
In a river the color of lead Immerse the baby's head
Bm7 F#7sus4 Bm7 F#7sus4 GM7 Dmaj7 GM7 A
Wrap her up in the News Of The World Dump her on a doorstep, girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Bm9 Aadd9
This night has opened my eyes And I will never sleep again
[Verse 2]
Bm7 F#sus4 Bm F#sus4 GM7 Dmaj7 GM7 A
You kicked and cried like a bullied child A grown man of twenty-five
Bm7 F#sus4 Bm7 F#sus4 GM7 Dmaj7 GM7 A
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills But he didn't and he never will
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Bm9 Aadd9
Oh, save your life Because you've only got one
[Chorus]
GM7 DM7 A GM7 Em7 Bm9 A9
The dream has gone But the baby is real Oh, you did a good thing
GM7 DM7 A GM7
She could have been a poet Or, she could have been a fool Oh, you did a bad thing
Em7 A Em7 DM7 A
And I'm not happy And I'm not sad
[Verse 3]
Bm7 F#7sus4 Bm7 F#7sus4 GM7 DM7 GM7 A
A shoeless child on a swing Reminds you of your own again
Bm7 F#7sus4 Bm7 F#7sus4 GM7 DM7 GM7 A
She took away your troubles Oh, but then again She left pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Bm9 Aadd9
Oh, save your life Because you've only got one
[Chorus]
GM7 DM7 A GM7 Em7 Bm9 A9
The dream has gone But the baby is real Oh, you did a good thing
GM7 DM7 A GM7
She could have been a poet Or, she could have been a fool Oh, you did a bad thing
Em A Em DM7 A
And I'm not happy And I'm not sad
