INTRO Dm Dm GDm Night am creepin', slowly creepin', down the lane F Bbm F A7 Stars are peeping', and I'm weepin' once again Dm F I'm not finding fault at all Bbm Dm You're too big and I'm too small Bb7 A+A7 Besides oh Lawd it's sinful to complain VERSE 1 Dm A7 You made the river flow, the flowers grow Dm Gm You made the weak and the strong Dm A7 Dm Bb7 A7 Dm But Lawd, you made the night too long VERSE 2 You made the robin sing a song of spring And me you gave a lonely song Oh Lawd that's why the night's so long BRIDGE A E7 I've got a heart and I got a cabin A B7 The door is open wide C G7 What good's a heart, and what good's a cabin C A7 if nobody lives inside? VERSE 3 You made the mountain high, the earth the sky So who am I to say you're wrong but Lawd you made the night too long
