Trace Adkins – Then Came The Night (Guitar)

D                    
Long legged shadows, 

A
Mississippi sunset,

D
She was standing like a candle,

G
That hadn't been burned yet.

D                    
The wind was blowing,

A
The clouds like ashes,

D
Had my hand in my pocket,

G
Reaching for my matches.

D                               A
I can see those cotton sheets dancing,

D                               A
On her momma's clothesline in my head,

D                               A
>From my lips a Lucky Strike was dangling,

D                               A
The day was dying in a sea of red.

D                    A
Then came the night, Warm and dark,

G                     A
Dragging it's chains, Across our hearts.

D                  A
The moon was full, The grass was wet

G                 A
Making us scream, Making us sweat

D                 A
Holding on tight, It was wrong, it was right

D                       G
Then came the night

D
There was a time

A
When love was a flower

D
Now it's a vine

G
Clinbing up the tower

D
And the river just rolls

A
Past the garden

D
Where love won't grow

G
And the ground is hardened.

D               A
I can see that tattered white flag flying

D               A
I can hear the ringing mission bell

D               A
Telling of the innocence that's dying

D               A
A sound that I remember oh so well.

D                    A
Then came the night, Warm and dark

G                    A
Dragging its chains, Across our hearts

D                  A
The moon was full, The grass was wet

G                 A
Making us scream, Making us sweat

D                G
Making us cling, Making us claw

D               A
Making us rise, Making us fall

D                 A
Breath on breath, Skin on skin

G                A
I can't go back, There again

D                A
Holdin on tight, It was wrong, it was right

D                       G
Then came the night
