Trace Adkins - Then Came The Night


INTRO: D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G


D MajorD
Long legged shadows,
A augmentedA
Mississippi sunset,
D MajorD
She was standing like a candle,
G+G
That hadn't been burned yet.
D MajorD
The wind was blowing,
A augmentedA
The clouds like ashes,
D MajorD
Had my hand in my pocket,
G+G
Reaching for my matches.

D MajorD                A augmentedA
I can see those cotton sheets dancing,
D MajorD                A augmentedA
On her momma's clothesline in my head,
D MajorD                A augmentedA
>From my lips a Lucky Strike was dangling,
D MajorD                A augmentedA
The day was dying in a sea of red.


CHORUS
D MajorD          A augmentedA
Then came the night, Warm and dark,
G+G           A augmentedA
Dragging it's chains, Across our hearts.
D MajorD         A augmentedA
The moon was full, The grass was wet
G+G         A augmentedA
Making us scream, Making us sweat
D MajorD         A augmentedA
Holding on tight, It was wrong, it was right
D MajorD            G+G
Then came the night


D MajorD
There was a time
A augmentedA
When love was a flower
D MajorD
Now it's a vine
G+G
Clinbing up the tower
D MajorD
And the river just rolls
A augmentedA
Past the garden
D MajorD
Where love won't grow
G+G
And the ground is hardened.

D MajorD        A augmentedA
I can see that tattered white flag flying
D MajorD        A augmentedA
I can hear the ringing mission bell
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Telling of the innocence that's dying
D MajorD        A augmentedA
A majorA sound that I remember oh so well.


CHORUS
D MajorD          A augmentedA
Then came the night, Warm and dark
G+G          A augmentedA
Dragging its chains, Across our hearts
D MajorD         A augmentedA
The moon was full, The grass was wet
G+G         A augmentedA
Making us scream, Making us sweat
D MajorD        G+G
Making us cling, Making us claw
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Making us rise, Making us fall
D MajorD         A augmentedA
Breath on breath, Skin on skin
G+G        A augmentedA
I can't go back, There again
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Holdin on tight, It was wrong, it was right
D MajorD            G+G
