Don't Stop Me Now lyrics by The Wolfe Tones 

The guitar chords are now included. The singer in the youtube video is Tommy Byrne. Taken from the album ''Let The People Sing''[Song Lyrics ] 1972 and in my opinion their best album ever, I have been listening to this song for nearly 40 years and it's as fresh today in my head as it was all them years ago. It's an intriguing little song that makes the mind wander to other places. You don't really know what the song is all about until the last few lines when you realize it's all a dream,,,,,,,or is it ?

Now darkness fills the sky 
Where once the summer sun did shine 
Where lighter shades of blue were true 
And the heavens they were mine 
Now they are gone and now I seem to realize 
That a storm has entered o'er my paradise 

And it stopped the golden sunlight coming through my door 
And the daybreak never comes just like it did before 
Just like it did before 

Through the sleepy hours at night 
This shady figure fills my door 
And casts its magic spell to swell 
The memories of my mind 
Don't stop me now, I'm the man that on the moon did walk 
Don't stop me now, I'm the Jack that climbed the beanstalk 

And it stopped the golden sunlight coming through my door 
And the daybreak never comes just like it did before 
Just like it did before 

I spoke to it sometimes 
And then it would speak back to me 
Perhaps now that its me, 
You see l'm dreamin' I am me 
Don't stop me now, I m a winner in the Olympic Games 
Don't stop me now, I'm the circus man that jumps through flames 

And it stopped the golden sunlight coming through my door 
And the daybreak never comes just like it did before 
Just like it did before 

The hidden drums of silence 
Seemed to captivate my busy mind 
And spoke to me somehow to show 
What world was really mine 
Then I awake and find my old familiar things upon the shelf 
My watch and tie and signet ring

Don't Stop Me Now From The Album Let The People Sing - The Wolfe Tones

The Wolfe Tones Play this song in the key of Eb. That key isn't suitable to most ballad singers so I took it down a notch.

[D]Now [G]darkness fills the [A]sky 
Where [D]once the summer sun did shin[G]e 
Where lighter shades of [A]blue were true 
And the heavens they were [D]mine 
Now they are [A]gone and now I seem to [D]realize 
That a [A]storm has entered o'er my [D]paradise 

And it [G]stopped the golden sunlight coming [D]through my door 
And the [G]daybreak never comes just like it [D]did before 
Just like it [G]did be[D]fore 

Through the [G]sleepy hours at [A]night 
This shady figure [D]fills my door 
And [G]casts its magic [A]spell to swell 
The memories of my [D]mind 
Don't stop me [A]now, I'm the man that on the [D]moon did walk 
Don't stop me [A]now, I'm the Jack that climbed the [D]beanstalk 

And it [G]stopped the golden sunlight coming [D]through my door 
And the [G]daybreak never comes just like it [D]did before 
Just like it [G]did be[D]fore 

I [A]spoke to it sometimes 
And [D]then it would speak back to me 
[G]Perhaps now that its [A]me, 
You see l'm dreamin' I am [D]me 
Don't stop me [A]now, I m a winner in the O[D]lympic Games 
Don't stop me [A]now, I'm the circus man that [D]jumps through flames 

And it[G] stopped the golden sunlight coming [D]through my door 
And the [G]daybreak never comes just like it[D] did before 
Just like it [G]did be[D]fore 

The [G]hidden drums of [A]silence 
Seemed to captivate my [D]busy mind 
And [G]spoke to me some[A]how to show 
What world was really [D]mine 
Then I a[A]wake and find my old fa[D]miliar things upon the [A]shelf 
My [G]watch and tie and [D]signet ring.


Here's the chords in the key of G.

[G]Now [C]darkness fills the [D]sky
