INTRO
[Dm] [Dm] [Gm] [Dm]
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
