Chords
Light and Night is a wonderful little song that Tally Hall wrote and recorded with Nellie McKay for Kate
DiCamillo's novel "The Magician's Elephant".
NOTE: all of these chords should be played barred, otherwise you'll have the wrong inversion and it'll
sound weird.
INTRO: Cm
Cm (Eb) Fm We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on, underneath the moon. Bb Cm Sitting in the sight of every eye. I believe in you. Ab Eb Open your window, look out and see me. Bbm Ab G Slow I am coming a long way to be. Cm (Eb) Fm An accidental light on. Such as I am. By the lonely sun. Bb Cm Ever is the light on, is the light on. Ever meant to run. Ab Eb Cold but I'm outside and waiting to see. Bbm Ab G Blowing the snow coming closer to me. Ab Eb Bb Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight. Ab Eb Bb Tonight all the black and the gray and the white. Ab Cm Ab Bb Cm And I want to be like you are the one light. I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine. Cm (Eb) Fm Better when the light comes in the night time opening the door. Bb Cm Hoping to be right, it's open every night. So whatcha waiting for? Ab Eb Open your window look out and see me. Bbm G Slow I am coming a long way to be. Ab Eb Bb Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight. Ab Eb Bb Tonight all the black and the gray and the white. Ab Cm Ab Bb Db And I want to be like you are the one light. I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine. (Db) G C - C7 F - Fm Something is real. Maybe not. Something is gone. Db G C - C7 F - Fm Something is here. Only thought. All that you want. Db Eb Everything else will follow.
