The Longest Night Of The Year (CHORDS) by Mary Chapin Carpenter
[Intro]~
C G D C G D C G D C D
[Verse 1]~
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
[Chorus]~
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 night It was longest night of the year
[Verse 2]~
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
[Chorus]~
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 night It was longest night of the year
[Verse 3]~
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
[Chorus]~
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 night 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 night It was longest night of the year
