Avalon - Light A Candle


Capo on 3rd Fret


Verse:
C              Am
 Light a candle
        Dm               C
For the old man who sits staring
      Bb
Out a frosty window pane
C              Am
 Light a candle
        Dm           C
For the woman who is lonely
          Bb
And every Christmas it's the same
        Dm           C
For the children who need
          Bb
More than presents can bring


Chorus:
D
 Light a candle
Bm
 Light the dark
G
 Light the world
A
 Light a heart or two
Bm       (D)
 Light a candle for me
G             (D)    (A) D
 I'll light a candle for you 


Verse:
Light a candle 
For the homeless and the hungry 
A little shelter from the cold 
Light a candle 
For the broken and forgotten 
May the season warm their souls 
Can we open our hearts 
To shine through the dark 


Chorus


Bridge:
    F
And in this special time of year
    C
May peace on earth surround us here
    Am                               G
And teach us there's a better way to live 
             Bm            Em
Oh, and with every (every) flame that burns
Bm              Em
We must somehow learn
     C                   G
That love's the greatest gift
     F
That we could ever give 


Chorus
