  			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
