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