Start Jamming...
[N] 1, [A] 2, 3
If you [Bb] close the [G] door
The [Cm] night could last [F] forever
Leave [Bb] the sun, shine [G] out
And [C] say hello
[N] [G]
Light [Gm] keepers
On a [D] [G] wacky drunken midnight [C] choir
I have tried in my [D]
way
[G] To be free
Like a war on [D] a hook
Like a [G] night from some old fashioned [C] book
[G] I have saved all my [D] [G] remanence for thee
[C] If I have been [G]
[Am]
you can't just let [G] it go by
[C] If I have been [G] untrue
[Am] I hope you know it was [D] never to you
Like a [G] beast [D] stillborn
Like [G] a beast with his horn
[C] I [G] have torn [D] anyone who reached out for [G] me
But I swear by this [D] song
And by [G]
all that I have [C] done wrong
I [G] will make [D] it all [G] up to thee
[C]
If I have been you [G]
[Am] can't just let [G] it go by
[C] If I have been
[G] untrue
[Am] I hope you know it was never [D] to you
[G] Like a bird on [D] a wire
[G] Like a drunken midnight [C] choir
I [G] have tried in [D] my way
[G] To be free
Like a war on [D] a hook
[G] Like a night from some old [C] fashioned book
I [G] have saved all [D] my remanence [G] for thee
