Lyrics and chords for the original song “Gloria” recorded by Umberto Tozzi
B E
B
Gloria
E
manchi tu nell'aria
B
manchi ad una mano
E
che lavora piano
B
manchi a questa bocca
E
che cibo piu non tocca
B
e sempre questa storia
E
che lei la chiamo Gloria.
C#m F#
Gloria sui tuoi fianchi
B E
la mattina nasce il sole
A B
entra odio ed esce amore
E
dal nome Gloria.
B
Gloria
E
manchi tu nell'aria
B
manchi come il sale
E
mi manchi piu del sole
B D
sciogli questa neve
A B
che soffoca il mio petto
E
t'aspetto Gloria.
B E
Gloria chiesa di campagna
B
acqua nel deserto
E
lascio aperto il cuore
C#m F#
scappa senza far rumore
B E
dal lavore dal tuo letto
A B
dai gradini di un altare
E
ti aspetto Gloria.
B E
B E
Gloria per chi attende il giorno
B
e invece di dormire
E
con la memoria torna
B
a un tuffo nei papaveri
E
in una terra libera
B
per chi respira nebbia
E
per chi respira rabbia
C#m F#
per me che senza Gloria
B E
con te nuda sul divano
A B
faccio stelle di cartone
E
pensando a Gloria.
B
Gloria
E
manchi tu nell'aria
B
manchi come il sale
E
mi manchi piu del sole
B D
sciogli questa neve
A B
che soffoca il mio petto
E
t'aspetto Gloria.
B E
Gloria chiesa di campagna
B
acqua nel deserto
E
lascio aperto il cuore
C#m F#
scappa senza far rumore
B E
dal lavore dal tuo letto
A B
dai gradini di un altare
E
ti aspetto Gloria.
