INTRO
     DmDm                 DmDm G minorGm DmDm
Night am creepin', slowly creepin', down the lane
     FF         BbmBbm      FF   A7A7
Stars are peeping', and I'm weepin' once again
    DmDm        FF
I'm not finding fault at all
     BbmBbm       DmDm
You're too big and I'm too small
 Bb7Bb7                A augmentedA+  A7A7
Besides oh Lawd it's sinful to complain

VERSE 1
       DmDm        A7A7
You made the river flow, the flowers grow
DmDm              G minorGm
  You made the weak and the strong
   DmDm    A7A7 DmDm  Bb7Bb7  A7A7 DmDm
But Lawd, you made the night too long

VERSE 2
You made the robin sing a song of spring
And me you gave a lonely song
Oh Lawd that's why the night's so long

BRIDGE
A augmentedA          E7E7
I've got a heart and I got a cabin
  A augmentedA      B7B7
The door is open wide
C majorC            G7G7
What good's a heart, and what good's a cabin
  C majorC       A7A7
if nobody lives inside?

VERSE 3
You made the mountain high, the earth the sky
So who am I to say you're wrong
but Lawd you made the night too long
