| 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
From the darkness of the empty hours
To the early morning light
From the hustle down on main street
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
From the mills way down in Pittsburgh
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
