The Long Night Chords

(ver. 1)
Patrick Park
Standard Tuning

Bar chords work really well for this song!

While you can certainly strum the chords, it will sound more like the
original if you adapt a finger picking pattern such as:

   Bbm                 C#             Ab
E-----------------    ------------------------------|
G--------2-----2--    -------6----------------------|
B----3-----3------    ---6-----6---6--------5-------|
D------3-----3----(x2)-----6-----6------6-----6---6-| Repeat
A--1--------------    -4------------------6-----6---|
E-----------------    ----------------4-------------|

Introduction:

D#m  C#  Ab  D#m  C#m  Ab

VERSE 1
           Bbm     
There's a chill upon the air

     C#               Ab
And days are down and dire

    Bbm  
And all our doubt grows wings

        C#         Ab
And our wickedness conspires

Bb                C#  
No one will sleep soundly
 
        Ab
In this tangled web of spite

               D#m  Ab    Bbm
We're in for a lo-o-o-ong night


VERSE 2
    
    Bbm      
The relentless beat of time

              C#           Ab
Will take its heavy-handed toll

        Bbm 
Til the hurt runs through your veins

     C#          Ab
From pole to icy pole

        Bbm              C#
And the ones you love so well

     Ab     
Have all been lost from sight

         D#m  Ab    Bbm
Into the lo-o-o-ong night

SOLO

F# C# Ab Bbm F# C# Ab F# C# Ab F# C# Ab F# C# F#
(Listen to the song to get timing right)

Bbm
Until the hand no longer holds

C#                Ab
Fast the man-made blade

    Bbm
And blood for blood our debt

   C#               Ab
In hollow ground is laid

      Bbm              C#
We'll greet each other blindly

       Ab
In the absence of all light

              D#m  Ab    Bbm
Afraid of the lo-o-o-ong night

              D#m  Ab    Bbm
Afraid of the lo-o-o-ong night
