Edim Cdim G Cdim G Edim
A moment after dark around the park,
D Am7 D9 Am7 G
An old-fashion gent comes parading,
Edim Cdim G C Cdim A7
Dressed in funny clothes but singing as he goes,
D Bm7 Am7 Cdim G
The Lamplighter's Ser - e - nade.
Bridge:
Cdim B7 Em B+
The old boy loves to talk with couples on the walk,
C Cm Cm7 G6 G5
But when it's half after love time,
Cdim B7 Em B+ Em7
He reaches for his sticks and from his bag of tricks,
A7 Gdim D7
He lights every star in the sky.
Edim Cdim G Cdim G Edim
And if a lady or a beau should answer “No,”
D Am7 D9 Am7 G
He sprinkles their hearts with his magic,
Edim Cdim G C Cdim A7
Then he steals away to sing another day
D Bm7 Am7 Cdim G
The Lamplighter's Ser - e - nade.
