The Night I Painted The Sky by Jimmy Buffett
The Night I Painted The Sky
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E C#m F#7 Bsus E
[Verse]
A E
I came from the north escaping con vention,
B E
The modern invention that won't let me be
A G#m
To the shores of St. Maarten with my fiction addi ction,
F# B
To restart the fire a dreamer's remedy
A E
Inde pendence day and all I re member,
B E
Was a midnight rainbow that fell from the sky
A G#m
As I stand on the beach I slowly sur render,
F# B
To the child in me who can't say good bye
E G#m
The rockets in the air,
A E
And the people every where
C#m F# B
Put away their differences for a while
E G#m
Oh I am still a child
A F#
When it comes to something wild
E B A E
That was the night I painted the sky
A E
I dug in the sand like a boy, on a mission.
B E
And there in my hands a pyro's de light
A E
A bombadier, a nighttime magi cian,
F# B
I spark the sky as the rockets fly from view
E G#m
The rockets in the air,
A E
And the people every where
C#m F# B
Put away their differences for a while
E G#m
Oh I am still a child
A F#
When it comes to something wild
E B A E
That was the night I painted the sky
[Instrumental]
A E
Oh the mortars they roar in antici pation,
A E
Pre ceding the sigh of the uplifted eyes
A E
It showers us all in sulfuric sens ation,
F# B
The colors shine in a fiery rhyme to night
[Verse]
E G#m
The rockets in the air,
A E
And the people every where
C#m F# B
Put away their differences for a while
E G#m
Oh I am still a child
A F#
When it comes to something wild
E C#m
That was the night
E F#
Oh, that was the night
E B A E
That was the night, I painted the sky
