Leonard Cohen - Night comes on

I went d^Down to the pl^Gace where I kn^Dew she lay waiting Under the m^Garble and the sn^Aow I said M^Dother I'm fr^Gightened the th^Dunder and the lightning I'll never come thr^Gough this al^Aone She s^Gaid I'll be w^Cith you my sh^Gawl wrapped aro^Cund you My h^Gand on your h^Cead when you g^Go And the n^Dight came on it was v^Amery calm, I w^Fanted the night to go ^Con and on G D G D / But she said go back, go back to the world

We were f^Dighting in ^GEgypt when they s^Digned this agreement That nobody e^Glse had to d^Aie There was this t^Derrible so^Gund and my f^Dather went down With a terrible wo^Gund in his s^Aide He said t^Gry to go ^Con take my bo^Goks take my g^Cun Rem^Gember my s^Con how they l^Gied And the n^Dight comes on it's v^Amery calm I'd l^Fike to pretend that my f^Cather was wrong G D G D / But you don't want to lie, not to the young

We were l^Docked in this k^Gitchen I t^Dook to religion And I wondered how l^Gong she would st^Aay I n^Deeded so m^Guch to have n^Dothing to touch, I've always been gr^Geedy that w^Aay But my s^Gon and my da^Cughter climbed o^Gut of the w^Cater Crying P^Gapa you pr^Comised to pl^Gay And they l^Dead me away to the gr^Ameat surprise It's P^Fapa don't peek, Papa c^Cover your eyes G D G D / And they hide, they hide in the world

Now I l^Dook for her ^Galways I'm l^Dost in this calling I'm tied to the thr^Geads of some pr^Aayer Saying wh^Den will she s^Gummon me wh^Den will she come to me What must I d^Go to prep^Aare When she b^Gends to my l^Conging like a w^Gillow like a fo^Cuntain She st^Gands in the l^Cuminous a^Gir And the n^Dight comes on it's v^Amery calm I l^Fie in her arms, she s^Cays when I'm gone G D G D / I'll be yours, yours for a song

Now the cr^Dickets are s^Ginging, the v^Desper bells ringing The cat's curled asl^Geep in his ch^Aair I'll go d^Down to Bill's B^Gar, I can m^Dake it that far And I'll see if my fri^Gends are still th^Aere Yes and h^Gere's to the f^Cew who forg^Give what you d^Co And the f^Gewer who d^Con't even c^Gare And the n^Dight comes on, it's v^Amery calm I w^Fant to cross over I w^Cant to go home G D G D / But she says go back, go back to the world G / / / / / / / D G D / D G D
