Long Dark Night chords by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 1st
Verse:
G
I was long inside a dream, I could not get loose
G                                               Em
I will tell you of it, although there is little use
Em        D                       G
To tell a dream, when dreaming is all you ever do
G                            C                 G
But things were not so good, that I can't make light of it
G
My poor soul, it was having a dark night of it
Em                           D       G
It was a long night, a week, maybe a year


Chorus:
Em      D                  G
Maybe a long dark night is coming down
Em      D                  G
Maybe a long dark night is coming down

Verse:
G
Through the door of my dream burst
G                                         Em
No zombie, no ogre, no devil there, but a flying man
D         G
With long trailing hair
G                                                                        Em
Who perched upon the iron rail of my bed, oh Lord combing his long white hair
Em            D
And saying my name
G
How could he know, when I did not even know my name?


Chorus:
Em      D                  G
Maybe a long dark night is coming down
Em      D                  G
Maybe a long dark night, my precious one
Em      D               G                 Em
Maybe a long dark night rolling around my eyes
C       D
Oh, Lord


Verse:
G
The man who took me to be from elsewhere
G
When I too inhabited the earthly sphere lent down and
Em        D             G
Struck me with his long trailing hair


Chorus:
Em      D                  G
Maybe a long dark night is coming down
Em      D                  G
Maybe a long dark night, my precious one
Em      D                  G                 Em
Maybe a long dark night is rolling around my head
C       D
Oh, Lord


Outro:
G Em D G
