Rea Chris - I Can Hear Your Heartbeat Chords

I CAN HEAR YOUR HEARTBEAT by Chris Rea



| G   D | - that’s the whole progression throughout the song
           The D-chord is very short on the 2nd eight note of 3!

VERSE 1
In the silence of the side street
In the whisper of the night
To the early morning light
With all its lights so bright
To the trucker on a highway
Pressing through the night

I can hear your heartbeat
I can hear your heartbeat
Girl the sound of you is so sweet to me

VERSE 2
I’m in a European disco
And it’s thumping out the beat
There’s a juke box in a cafe
Where the younger ones can meet
We got freezing Coca-Cola
We got anything you want
I can feel the backbeat
Girl but it’s you that sings the song

And I can hear your heartbeat
Yeah I can hear your heartbeat
Girl the sound of you is so sweet to me

VERSE 3
And I’m sailing on your windsong
Yeah I can feel this summer breeze
You’ve got me walking on my tip-toes
You’ve got me standing on my knees
To the clubs of gay Paris (speak Paree)
No matter where I roam girl
You can always get to me

And I can hear your heartbeat
Yeah I can hear your heartbeat
Girl the sound of you is so sweet to me

(These are the lyrics as they appear on “Water Sign”; when Chris Rea re-recorded the song in 1988 he changed the progression a little bit – the third verse became second and he only sung the second half of the second verse as a bridge)
