We Shall Wear Midnight chords by Steeleye Span

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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