INTRO:  [Dm7]      [G]      [Dm7]       [G]

       [Dm7]     [G]        [Dm7]            [G]
It was late last night, I was feeling something wasn't right,
          [Dm7]        [G]      [Cmaj7]     [Em]      [Am]
there was not another soul in sight, only you, only you
  [Dm7]    [G]           [Dm7]                 [G]
So we walked along, though I knew that there was something wrong,
      [Dm7]            [G]         [Cmaj7]  [C7]
and a feeling hit me, oh, so strong about you
     [Fmaj7]    [Em7]   [Am]           [D7]
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see,
[Dm7]   [G]      [Cmaj7]  [Dm7]   [Dm7/G] [Cmaj7]  [Dm7][Dm7/G]
Cause I saw the light in your eyes             in your eyes
       [Dm7]   [G]      [Dm7]           [G]
Though we had our fling, I just never would suspect a thing
          [Dm7]             [G]      [Cmaj7]     [Em]
till that little bell began to ring in my head, in my head
[Am]  [Dm7]    [G]           [Dm7]                    [G]
But I tried to run, though I knew it wouldn't help me none,
[Dm7]             [G]              [Cmaj7]   [C7]
cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said
    [Fmaj7]    [Em]      [Am]          [D7]
But my feelings for you were just something I never knew
[Dm7] [G]   [Cmaj7]  [Dm7]   [Dm7/G]   [Cmaj7][Dm7]  [Dm7/G]
Til I saw the light in your eyes        in your   eyes

BRIDGE
[Dm7]          [G]          [Dm7]         [G]         [Dm7]
[G]         [C]         [Em]          [Am]

[Am]  [Dm7]    [G]          [Dm7]                   [G]
But I love you best, it's not something that I say in jest,
[Dm7]                         [G]        [Cmaj7]    [C7]
cause you're different, girl, from all the rest in my eyes
   [Fmaj7] [Em]       [Am]           [D7]
And I ran out before, but I won't do it anymore
       [Dm7]   [G]         [Cmaj7]  [Dm7]   [Dm7/G]
Can't you see the light in my eyes
      [Cmaj7]    [Dm7]        [Dm7/G]
In my eyes
      [Cmaj7]    [Dm7]        [Dm7/G]
In my eyes
      [Cmaj7]    [Dm7]        [Dm7/G]
In my eyes

About this song: I Saw The Light

Summer in the 70s wouldn't be complete without mention of Todd Rundgren. This particular tune, "I Saw the Light" was a pop favorite played at house parties, park dances and on radio stations during sultry summer nights when life was a little simpler, and maybe sweeter.
