We Shall Wear Midnight chords by Steeleye Span

Chords with lyrics

This is the first thing I've ever done on here but this song is amazing and especially poignant today after the
news of Terry Pratchett's passing.

G+G      D MajorD   F# minorF#m   D MajorD
You made me older than my years
   G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
I am young and barely grown
G+G     D MajorD   F# minorF#m   D MajorD
And when I cry, I cry your tears
   G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
for I have no life of my own.

A augmentedA       D MajorD      G+G   D MajorD
Why don't you write me some candlelight
G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA
and wear your heart of gold?
A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G           A augmentedA
and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
'Til one day I shall wear midnight.

G+G         D MajorD        F# minorF#m   D MajorD
And if you should scream from your darkest dream
   G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD
In a whisper you'll hear me call
G+G     D MajorD      F# minorF#m  D MajorD
And for a while I'll be sweet sixteen
     G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
and I'll have no power at all.

A augmentedA       D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD
Why don't you write me a moonlight night
G+G       D MajorD   A augmentedA
and wear your finest hour
A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G           A augmentedA
and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
'Til one day I shall wear midnight.

D MajorD  G+G       A augmentedA
I am young, you are old,
A augmentedA              D MajorD
but you're not heartless and cold
D MajorD  G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD
I am warm from the love that you've shown
D MajorD    G+G     D MajorD
but you conjured me up
D MajorD     A augmentedA      D MajorD
from your hat full of dreams
D MajorD    G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD
and you keep me in a world of your own

A augmentedA       D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD
Why don't you write me a guiding light
G+G       D MajorD   A augmentedA
and wear your heart's desire?
A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G           A augmentedA
and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
'Til one day I shall wear midnight.

G+G         D MajorD      F# minorF#m  D MajorD
And when you lay down on your final word,
    G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
it will be no comfort to me.
G+G          D MajorD      F# minorF#m    D MajorD
I have lived by the pen and I?ll die by the sword,
     G+G    A augmentedA   D MajorD
when it?s time to set me free.

A augmentedA       D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD
Why don?t you write me a gallant knight
G+G       D MajorD     A augmentedA
and wear your honour and sword
A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G           A augmentedA
and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
'Til one day I shall wear midnight.

A augmentedA  D MajorD  G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
One day I shall wear midnight
A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
'Til one day we shall wear midnight.
