The Voice of Midnight By Slaid Cleaves
(Intro)
E C#m A B
E
Dont want to go too soon
C#m
Dont want to stay too long
A
Dont want to go too quick into the night
B
Dont want to linger on and on
Dont want to leave you a mess
Dont want to cause a fuss
Roll me into the hole
Cover me up
A
Id like to know when its comin
E C#m
Just a little time to prepare
E
When the voice of midnight comes
A
And into oblivion I stare
E
Theres no one waitin on me
C#m
No heaven or hell
A
The only vow I make
B
To live true and die well
And when Im gone, Im gone
Youll hear my name in the wind
Up to the great beyond
Back to where we begin
A
Will I hold onto the courage
E C#m
To say goodbye to a life so dear
E
When the voice of midnight comes
A
Will grace overcome fear
(Bridge)
A
I was born under a lucky star
C#m
And Im thankful every day
B
And I know in the blink of an eye
A Asus2
It will all be taken away
(Interlude)
E C#m A B
E C#m A B
E
Maybe an open field
C#m
Under the stars and moon
E
With the smell of the land and the air
A
And not some hospital room
Ill take my comfort in song
To the bittersweet end
And then Ill take my leave
Safe in the memory of friends
A
Id like to know when its comin
E C#m
Just a little time to prepare
E
When the voice of midnight comes
A Asus2
I hope youll be there
