Song

THE NIGHT COMES DOWN
From the 1st self-titled albumn
The real intro is some wild stuff around an Em that is well
beyond my abilities. After enough Em improv it crashes into a B7
(I think). Then the intro below.
Chords: C# = xx4121, C#7 = x4342x, Dmaj7 = xx0222

Intro

| Am Em | D C# | A | Dmaj7 | Dmaj7 |

Verse

When I was young it came to me, and I could see the sun breaking 
Lucy was high, and so was I, 
dazzling, holding the world inside
Once I believed in everyone, everyone and anyone can see

Chorus

Oo-oh the night comes down, and I get afraid, of losing my way
Oo-oh the night comes down, oh  
and it's dark again
| Dmaj7 |

Verse

Once I could laugh with everyone, once I could see the good in me 
The black and the white distinctively, 
coloring, holding the world inside
Now all the world is grey to me, nobody can see (you gotta believe it)

Chorus

Oo-oh the night comes down, and I get afraid, of losing my way
Oo-oh the night comes down, oh  
and it's dark again

Ending

and it's dark again
and it's dark again
