Trace Adkins - Then Came The Night Chords

Trace Adkins - Then Came The Night

D A Bm G

            D
Long-legged shadows
            A
Mississippi sunset
                        Bm
She was standing like a candle
                 G
That hadn't been burned yet
             D
The wind was blowin'
            A
Clouds like ashes
                  Bm
Had my hand in my pocket
                G
Reaching for my matches
D
I can see those
              Bm
Cotton sheets dancin'
G                              A
On her mama's clothesline in my head
D                               Bm
    G                         A
The day was dyin' in a sea of red.

Chorus:
              Bm
Then Came The Night
         G
Warm and dark
             D 
Draggin' its chains
           A
Across our hearts
             Bm
The moon was full
              G
The grass was wet
          D                A
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
           Bm
Holdin' on tight
                    G
It was wrong it was right
              D     A           
Then Came The Night. 

            D
There was a time
                A
When love was a flower
           Bm
Now it's a vine
                G
Climbin' up the tower
                   D
And the river just rolls
         A
Past the garden
                 Bm
Where love won't grow
                  G
And the ground is hardened
D                                  Bm
I can see that tattered white flag flyin'
G                              A
I can hear the ringin' mission bell
D                               Bm
Telling of the innocence that's dyin'
  G                           A
A sound that I remember oh so well.

Chorus2:
              Bm
Then Came The Night
         G
Warm and dark
             D 
Draggin' its chains
           A
Across our hearts
             Bm
The moon was full
              G
The grass was wet
          D                A
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
          Bm           G
Makin' us cling makin' claw
          D              A
Makin' us rise makin' us fall
          Bm              G
Breath on breath, skin on skin
           D           A
I can't go back, there again
           Bm
Holdin' on tight
             G
It was wrong it was right
              D
Then Came The Night.

A Bm G D A

                Bm
I remember that summer


                      G
I was workin' for her daddy
              D
I was still a boy
                 A
But I knew I was ready
                 Bm               
When she reached out, and took my hand
             G
She became a woman, and I became a man.


D
I can see those
              A
Cotton sheets dancin'
I wonder if she still thinks about me

Bm                              G
On her mama's clothesline in my head
The way I still think about her

D                               A
You don’t forget something like that
Bm                            G
The day was dyin' in a sea of red
There's only one first time.

D
Long-legged shadows
            A
Mississippi sunset
                        Bm
She was standing like a candle
                 G
That hadn't been burned yet.
