intro
Dm Dm Gm Dm
night Am creepin’ , slowly creepin’ , down the lane
F A#m F A7
stars are peeping’ , and i’m weepin’ once again
Dm F
i’m not finding fault at all
A#m Dm
you’re too big and i’m too small
A#7 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 A#7 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
