As recorded by The Band (From the 1977 Album ISLANDS) [Intro] G C D G C D [Verse 1]
G                C          G
I am the owl who stands alone

Em           D
The lonesome wild I call my home

G                              C         G
Just like the workman when his day is done

Em      G             D
I can't wait for that sinking sun
[Chorus]
        G      Em C D
Let the night fall

        G      Em  C        D
Let the night fall, please, please

        G      Em C
Let the night fall

D              G Em C
Let it fall on me

D              G
Let it fall on me
[Verse 2]
G                      C        G
I am the owl who calls upon the night

Em       G          D
I am the eyes that abandon the light

G                           C       G
When no one's there and the dogs bark

Em      D
I'm the voice howling in the dark
[Chorus]
        G      Em C D
Let the night fall

        G      Em  C        D

[Verse 3]
G             C        G
I am the owl, old and wise

Em          G         D
The lord of wood with silent eyes

G                             C         G
The cock screams at the first spark of dawn

Em        D
That's my cue and I'll be moving on and on
[Out-Chorus]
        G      Em C D
