Light up. 
Under stormy night, tell nobody.

My brother where do you intend to go tonight? 
    G#m7        C#6           G#m7           C#6 
I heard that you missed your connecting flight, 
       C#m7                                    G#m7    C#6 
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee. 

You're ever welcome with me any time you like, 
Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes, 
So no one gets worried, no. 
So no one gets worried, no. 

       C#m7        G# 
But Sean don't get callous, 
    C#m7          G# 
I'm sure it'll be fine.

In the quivering forest, 
          F# 
Where the shivering dog rests, 
       Eadd9 
I will do it grandfather, 
        B 
Wilt to wood and end. 
        Eadd9 
And the river got frozen, 
        F# 
And the hole got snowed in, 
        Eadd9 
And the yellow moon glowed bright, 
         B 
Till the morning light. 
C#m7           D#m7 
Terrible am I child? 
C#m7             D#m7 
Even if you don't mind, 
          E (etc.) 
In the quivering forest, 
Where the shivering dog rests, 
I will do it grandfather, 
Wilt to wood and end. 
And the river got frozen, 
And the hole got snowed in, 
And the yellow moon glowed bright 
Till the morning light. 

Terrible am I child? 
C#m7              D#m7 
Even if you don't mind, 
C#m7       Repeat intro to fade 
No.
