^D Keep that candle burnin' bright, ^A mama
I'll be kind of late tonight, ^D mama
^D There's a yellow moon above me, ^A mama
Shinin' on the one I love, ^D mama
^D Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our ^A way
Keep that d ^D oorway open ^G wide
^D Until we come slowly ^A strollin' side by ^D side
^D While that candle's shinin' high, ^A mama
I'll be with my sugar pie, ^D mama
^D We'll be comin' home you know ^A mama
Lookin' for that candle glowin', ^D mama
^D Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our ^A way
Keep that d ^D oorway open ^G wide
^D Until we come slowly ^A strollin' side by ^D side
SOLO in D then end on Bb
^Eb After we have had the wedding, ^Bb mama
^Bb To that candle we'll be headin', ^Eb mama
So before we're winin' and dinin', ^Bb mama
^Bb Keep that candle light a-shinin', ^Eb mama
^Eb Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our ^Bb way
Keep that d ^Eb oorway open ^Ab wide
^Eb Until we come slowly ^Bb strollin' side by ^Eb side
