D           G                   A
Hey, the streetlights all burnt out
     Bm              D
Une annee sans lumieres
    G          A
Je monte un cheval
     D            Bm    A D
Qui porte des oeilleres

Hey, my eyes are shooting sparks
La nuit, mes yeux t'éclairent
Ne dis pas a ton père
Qu'il porte des oeillères

Chorus:
D     C                    G
Hey, your old man should know
   Gm            D
If you see a shadow
         A#   A     D
there's something there

So hey, my eyes are shooting sparks
La nuit, mes yeux t'éclairent
Ne dis pas a ton père
Qu'il porte des oeillères
Woo

Chorus:
Hey, your old man should know
If you see a shadow
There's something there
Woo
