All Night Loud – The Cat Empire


This is the closing song to the band’s fantastic album Steal the Light. The chords are very simple...


Capo 1


Am
Ever since I was 16
  F
I wished that spring would come to me
      F                                   G
And I wished that I could dance up on the isles.
      Am
Sweat rivers on a stage of steam
  F
I let my thoughts begin to dream
  F                  G            C
I held my breath and ran into the wild.


    Am
And each night a horizon grew
   F
In all of us or just a few
    F                                G
Til morning’s gold would make it disappear.
    Am
Yet somewhere in my treasured chest
   F
Is not forgot what must forget
    F                G           C
But that’s a feeling for another year.


    Am
And movement has a way like words
       F
You’re there before the rhyme is heard
    F                                G
And all that one can do is shape the ride.
    Am
The miles of a forgotten dream
    F
Are yours my love it’s where we’ve been
    F             G            C
And maybe one day soon we will arrive.


        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,
        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,
        G   Am         F
Sing it all night with me,
F   G     C
All night loud.


    Am
And we went on a whirlwind trip
    F
The nights unwound the records flipped
    F                                G
And stillness came like chaos in the lights.
    Am
And voices like devotion flew
F
Across the sea from me to you
   F            G            C
In music that I still cannot describe.


    Am
And there were ugly times it’s true
F
Some from me and some from you
    F                            G
And devils have a way of digging down.
      Am
But a friend is not a friend for life
F
Unless your life is worth the strife
F          G        C
So hold on we’ll be alright.


        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,
        C   F     C
Playing all night loud,
        G   Am         F
Sing it all night with me,
F   G     C
All night loud.


Am
There’s a speech that I know well
    F
Was told by Henry V I’ll tell
  F                              G
A version that relates to us not war.
 Am
‘He who sheds his sweat with me
     F
Will be my friend eternally
     F               G             C
From this day to the ending of the world’.


   Am
No matter if we’re young or old
   F
Or in the sun or in the cold
  F                               G
I hope I can remember your bright eyes.
    Am
Cos I know you and you know me
   F
At least somehow mysteriously
   F                 G                      C
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight.


           C
I’m much obliged,
           F
I’m much obliged.


   F                 G                      C
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight.


           C
I’m much obliged,
           F
I’m much obliged.


   F                 G                      C
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight.
