The Voice of Midnight By Slaid Cleaves
(Intro)
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
E MajorE
Dont want to go too soon
C# minorC#m
Dont want to stay too long
A augmentedA
Dont want to go too quick into the night
BB
Dont want to linger on and on
Dont want to leave you a mess
Dont want to cause a fuss
Roll me into the hole
Cover me up
A augmentedA
Id like to know when its comin
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Just a little time to prepare
E MajorE
When the voice of midnight comes
A augmentedA
And into oblivion I stare
E MajorE
Theres no one waitin on me
C# minorC#m
No heaven or hell
A augmentedA
The only vow I make
BB
To live true and die well
And when Im gone, Im gone
Youll hear my name in the wind
Up to the great beyond
Back to where we begin
A augmentedA
Will I hold onto the courage
E MajorE C# minorC#m
To say goodbye to a life so dear
E MajorE
When the voice of midnight comes
A augmentedA
Will grace overcome fear
(Bridge)
A augmentedA
I was born under a lucky star
C# minorC#m
And Im thankful every day
BB
And I know in the blink of an eye
A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
It will all be taken away
(Interlude)
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
E MajorE
Maybe an open field
C# minorC#m
Under the stars and moon
E MajorE
With the smell of the land and the air
A augmentedA
And not some hospital room
Ill take my comfort in song
To the bittersweet end
And then Ill take my leave
Safe in the memory of friends
A augmentedA
Id like to know when its comin
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Just a little time to prepare
E MajorE
When the voice of midnight comes
A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
I hope youll be there
