Midnight Will Become Day

Written By: Jim Lauderdale


F#                   B           F#
An eclipse like this rarely will happen
                B        F#
A shade is made few ever see
                                 B       F#
How the alignment is decided and seasons travel
F#                        B        F#
Remains unexplained till somebody tries
C#            B           F#
I'm glad that you had the courage
   C#            B         F#
To live what you wanted to say
C#            B           F#
The garden is starting to flourish
    D#m           C#      F#
And midnight will become  day
    D#m           C#      F#    
Oh  Midnight will become  day

SOLO

C#            B           F#
I'm glad that you had the courage
   C#            B         F#
To live what you wanted to say
C#            B           F#
The garden is starting to flourish
    D#m           C#      F#
And midnight will become  day
    D#m           C#      F#    
Oh  Midnight will become  day
F#                       B            F#
Stormes born sails torn far from the shoreline
F#                              B        F#
Safe at home having flown those perilous flights
F#                             B
Every single little twinkle is brighter than imagined
F#                           B             F#
Like you did as a kid you're watching them fall
C#            B           F#
I'm glad that you had the courage
   C#            B         F#
To live what you wanted to say
C#            B           F#
The garden is starting to flourish
    D#m           C#      F#
And midnight will become  day
    D#m           C#      F#    
Oh  Midnight will become  day
C#            B           F#
I'm glad that you had the courage
   C#            B         F#
To live what you wanted to say
C#            B           F#
The garden is starting to flourish
    D#m           C#      F#
And midnight will become  day
    D#m           C#      F#    
Oh  Midnight will become  day
