Artist/Band: Adkins Trace Tabs
Song: Then Came The Night Tab
INTRO: D A D G
D
Long legged shadows,
A
Mississippi sunset,
D
She was standing like a candle,
G
That hadn't been burned yet.
D
The wind was blowing,
A
The clouds like ashes,
D
Had my hand in my pocket,
G
Reaching for my matches.
D A
I can see those cotton sheets dancing,
D A
On her momma's clothesline in my head,
D A
>From my lips a Lucky Strike was dangling,
D A
The day was dying in a sea of red.
CHORUS
D A
Then came the night, Warm and dark,
G A
Dragging it's chains, Across our hearts.
D A
The moon was full, The grass was wet
G A
Making us scream, Making us sweat
D A
Holding on tight, It was wrong, it was right
D G
Then came the night
D
There was a time
A
When love was a flower
D
Now it's a vine
G
Clinbing up the tower
D
And the river just rolls
A
Past the garden
D
Where love won't grow
G
And the ground is hardened.
D A
I can see that tattered white flag flying
D A
I can hear the ringing mission bell
D A
Telling of the innocence that's dying
D A
A sound that I remember oh so well.
CHORUS
D A
Then came the night, Warm and dark
G A
Dragging its chains, Across our hearts
D A
The moon was full, The grass was wet
G A
Making us scream, Making us sweat
D G
Making us cling, Making us claw
D A
Making us rise, Making us fall
D A
Breath on breath, Skin on skin
G A
I can't go back, There again
D A
Holdin on tight, It was wrong, it was right
D G
Then came the night.
