Trace Adkins - Then Came The Night guitar chord
Trace Adkins - Then Came The Night
D A Bm G
D
Long-legged shadows
A
Mississippi sunset
Bm
She was standing like a candle
G
That hadn't been burned yet
D
The wind was blowin'
A
Clouds like ashes
Bm
Had my hand in my pocket
G
Reaching for my matches
D
I can see those
Bm
Cotton sheets dancin'
G A
On her mama's clothesline in my head
D Bm
From my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin'
G A
The day was dyin' in a sea of red.
Chorus:
Bm
Then Came The Night
G
Warm and dark
D
Draggin' its chains
A
Across our hearts
Bm
The moon was full
G
The grass was wet
D A
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
Bm
Holdin' on tight
G
It was wrong it was right
D A
Then Came The Night.
D
There was a time
A
When love was a flower
Bm
Now it's a vine
G
Climbin' up the tower
D
And the river just rolls
A
Past the garden
Bm
Where love won't grow
G
And the ground is hardened
D Bm
I can see that tattered white flag flyin'
G A
I can hear the ringin' mission bell
D Bm
Telling of the innocence that's dyin'
G A
A sound that I remember oh so well.
Chorus2:
Bm
Then Came The Night
G
Warm and dark
D
Draggin' its chains
A
Across our hearts
Bm
The moon was full
G
The grass was wet
D A
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
Bm G
Makin' us cling makin' claw
D A
Makin' us rise makin' us fall
Bm G
Breath on breath, skin on skin
D A
I can't go back, there again
Bm
Holdin' on tight
G
It was wrong it was right
D
Then Came The Night.
A Bm G D A
Bm
I remember that summer
G
I was workin' for her daddy
D
I was still a boy
A
But I knew I was ready
Bm
When she reached out, and took my hand
G
She became a woman, and I became a man.
D
I can see those
A
Cotton sheets dancin'
I wonder if she still thinks about me
Bm G
On her mama's clothesline in my head
The way I still think about her
D A
From my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin'
You don’t forget something like that
Bm G
The day was dyin' in a sea of red
There's only one first time.
D
Long-legged shadows
A
Mississippi sunset
Bm
She was standing like a candle
G
That hadn't been burned yet.
