F5
There's a beating heart 
Ab5
lonely in the dark,
A5            D5
I wonder when was the start 
   Bb5               C5
of when it all went bad.



A tear rolls down his face
he licks his lips and tastes,
whisky he just can't waste
God bless them weeping eyes.


F5  D5               C5
Outside is driving rain, oh creole
F5  D5                C5
inside the music's playing, oh creole
Bb5
think it's gonna make a change, think again.
D5    Bb5   D5    Bb5
oh creole, oh creole



F5 , Ab5 , A5



There's a creole sound
that's been going round,
the people dancing to the pound
of that same beating heart


and ain't it beating loud
and ain't it beating proud
and ain't it such an ugly sound
i'm never gonna dream i even go and start


Oh you don't play to well, oh creole
no you don't ring no bell, oh creole
is it gonna make a change, is it hell
oh creole, oh creole
