Verse 1
(G major) On this night (A minor) of a thousand stars,
(D major) let me take you to (G major) heaven's door,
where the music
(A minor) The of love's guitars plays (D major) forever (G major) more
(C major) (G major) In the (D major) glow of (A minor) those twinkling lights
We (D major) shall love through (G major) eternity
On this (A minor) night and a million nights
(D major) Fly away with (G major) me (C major) (G major)
I never dreamed that a kiss (D major)
could be as (G major) sweet as this
But now (C major) I know that it can
I used to (D major) wander alone
Without a (C major) lover of my own
I was (G major) a desperate man (D major) (G major)
But all my grief disappeared
And all the sorrow I feared
Wasn't (C major) there anymore (C minor)
(E flat major) On that (D major) magical day
(G major) When you (D major) first came my way
Me (G major) and more
On this night
On this night,
on this night (A major) of (A minor) a thousand stars
Let (D major) me take you (G major) to heaven's door
Where the music (D major) of (A minor) love's guitars
Plays (D major) forevermore (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D minor) (D major)
(C major) (E flat major) (D major) (D minor) (E flat major) It
(B flat major) (D major) must be a dream,
(C major) Agustín (D major) (G major) McAldi
(C major) The (D minor) (C major) most (D major) famous man to visit Junín
(C major) (D major) The audience (D minor) seemed
extremely (D major) heavy (C major) -going
Let some (D major) chum face the fact
they don't like her act
But this is the Styx, (B flat major)
if this were Buenos Aires
(G sharp major) I (G major) (D major) have that (C major) town (D major) at (C major) my feet, (D major)
I never ever (D minor) meet
Members of the public, they (C major) tear (D minor) me apart
(D major) I (C major) (D major) understand their (D minor) feelings
I wanna be (B flat major) a (F major) part (A minor) of (B flat major) B
.A. Buenos Aires, (D major) Big Apple
I wanna (D minor) be (B flat major) a (F major) part (B flat major) of B .A. Buenos Aires,
(D minor) Big (D major) Apple (C major) (D minor)
(D major)
(C major) Just listen (D minor) to that,
(C major) they're on (D minor) to you, my galdy, (C major)
an (D major) d get out while you (C major) can (D major)
It's (F sharpdim) happened at last,
I'm (Cdim) starting (B major) to get started,
I'm moving out (F sharpdim) with (B major) my man
Now Ava, don't get carried (F sharpdim) away
Monotony (Cdim) passed,
su (F sharpdim) perior depar (F sharp major) ted, (F major)
(F sharpdim) who could (D major) ever be fond of
the back of beyond?
Don't hear words that I didn't say
What's (B flat major) that?
You kissed up the girl you love?
The girl (F major) I (B flat major) love? (G major) Who?
She (D major) really (E major) brightene (G major) (B flat major) d up
your (D major) out -of -town (G major) (B flat major) en gagements (A major)
She (D major) gave (E flat major) (F major) you (A flat major) all she (B flat major) had,
she was (E flat major) n't (F major) in (A flat major) your (G major) con (A flat minor) tracts (A major)
You (B flat major) must (E flat major) (F major) be quite (A flat major) re (B flat major) lieved
(G major) that (D major) no (B major) (A major) one's told the (G major) pa pers (E major) so (G major) far (D major)
I wanna be (B flat major) a part (G minor) of (B flat major) B .A. Buenos Aires,
Big (D major) Apple
Would (B flat major) I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known
We would stay to (D minor) geth (D major) er (G major) (D major)
Seems to (A minor) me there's no
point in resisting
She's made up her mind,
you've (D minor) no choice (A minor)
Why don't you be the man
who discovered her?
You'll never be remembered
for your voice
The city can be paradise
For (F major) those who have the cash
The (G major) class and the connec (D major) tions
What you (F sharp minor) need to make a (A major) splash
(A minor) The likes of you get swept up
In the (F major) morning with the trash
If (G major) you were rich or (D major) middle class
Screw (C major) the middle classes!
I will never accept them,
and they will never deny
me anything again!
My (F major) father's other family
were middle class,
and we were kept out of sight,
hidden from view at his fu (C major) neral.
If these are the people of Buenos Aires,
(B major) I welcome the chance
to shine in their city
and to (A major) trample their rotten (B flat major) val ues
into the (C major) ground.
Do all your one -night stands
give you this trouble?
(A major) Ava, beware of the city
It's (D major) hungry and (A major) cold, (D major) can't be (A major) controlled
It is (E major) mad
Those (A major) who are fools (E major) are
swallowed (A major) up (D major) whole
And those (A major) who are nut (E major) s
become what (A major) they should
(D major) not become
Changed, (A major) (E major) in short, they go mad
(A major) That is good for me, I'm (A minor) bored,
so clean and so ignored
(D minor) I've only been predict (A minor) able,
respectable
Birds fly out of (D major) here, so (A minor) why,
why, why the hell can't I?
(D minor) I only want variety of (A minor) society
I (G major) wanna (F major) be a part of, be a point of siren
Big (A minor) Apple
(A major) I wan (A minor) na be (F major) a part of,
be a point of siren
Big (A minor) Ap (A major) ple
Five years from now
I shall come back and fi (D major) nally say (A major)
you have (D major) your (A major) way come (E major) to town
but (A major) you look at me (E major) with a (A major) foreigner's eyes
(D major) the ma (A major) gical city (E major)
a (A major) young girl's (D major) city
a (A major) fantasy long (E major) since put down
(A minor) you've done to me
what's that a young girl's (C major) fantasy
(D minor) I played your city games
all right (A minor) didn't I
I already know what cooks
how the dirty city feels
and I tasted (D minor) it last night, (A minor) didn't I?
I'm gonna (F major) be a part (D minor) of
Be (F major) a Buenos Aires
Big (A minor) Apple
I'm gonna be (F major) a part of
Be a Buenos Aires
Big (A minor) Apple
Ava, (A major) beware (D major) your (A major) am bition
It's (D major) hungry and (A major) cold
Can (D major) 't be con (A major) trolled, will (E major) run wild (A major)
(E major) This (A major) inner man is (E major) a (A major) danger enough (D major)
But (A major) you are a woman, (E major) not (A major) even a (D major) woman
Not (A major) very much more than a child
And whatever (D major) you say, (A major)
I'll not steal (E major) you away (A major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (F major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (F major) (C major) (D minor) (C major) (F major)
You
(C major) (G major)
