Jimmy Buffett

1995 Margaritaville Records
August 6, 2003

Intro:
E C#m F#7 Bsus E

Verse:
 A                E
I came from the north escaping con vention,
  B                 E
The modern invention that won't let me be
    A                     G#m
To the shores of St. Maarten with my fiction addi ction,
  F#              B
To restart the fire a dreamer's remedy

   A             E
Inde pendence day and all I re member,
   B                  E
Was a midnight rainbow that fell from the sky
   A                G#m
As I stand on the beach I slowly sur render,
    F#               B
To the child in me who can't say good bye

  E       G#m
The rockets in the air,
    A      E
And the people every where
C#m      F#        B
Put away their differences for a while
  E      G#m
Oh I am still a child
    A         F#
When it comes to something wild
E      B    A      E
That was the night I painted the sky

 A                E
I dug in the sand like a boy, on a mission.
  B               E
And there in my hands a pyro's de light
 A              E
A bombadier, a nighttime magi cian,
 F#                  B
I spark the sky as the rockets fly from view

  E       G#m
The rockets in the air,
    A      E
And the people every where
C#m      F#        B
Put away their differences for a while
  E      G#m
Oh I am still a child
    A         F#
When it comes to something wild
E      B    A      E
That was the night I painted the sky

Instrumental:
    A              E
Oh the mortars they roar in antici pation,
  A                E
Pre ceding the sigh of the uplifted eyes
  A                E
It showers us all in sulfuric sens ation,
  F#                B
The colors shine in a fiery rhyme to night

Verse:
  E       G#m
The rockets in the air,
    A      E
And the people every where
C#m      F#        B
Put away their differences for a while
  E      G#m
Oh I am still a child
    A         F#
When it comes to something wild
E      C#m
That was the night
  E      F#
Oh, that was the night
E      B    A      E
That was the night, I painted the sky
