Mary Chapin Carpenter – The Longest Night Of The Year (Guitar)

C                         G    D     C            G       D 
They say that spring will come again No one knows exactly when.

C                Em                      C                    D               
Still the suns a long lost friend On the longest night of the year.

C                 G   D     C              G        D   
We stare into the firelight While December beats outside

C                 Em                   C                    D 
Where the darkest hearts reside On the longest night of the year

C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night

C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year

C                   G         D     C                  G      D  
I used to think the world was small Bright and shining like a ball

C                  Em                 C                    D        
Seems I don’t know much at all On the longest night of the year

C                  G      D     C                   G       D     
We press our faces to the glass And see our little lives go past

C               Em                  C                    D 
Wave to shadows that we cast On the longest night of the year

C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night

C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year

C               G        D      C                     G   D
Make a vow when Solstice comes: To find the Light in everyone

C                  Em                   C                    D
Keep the faith and bang the drum On the longest night of the year

C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night

C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year

C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night

C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year
