--------------------------------------------------------------------------- When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky - Bob Dylan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Bob Dylan From: "Empire Burlesque" (1985) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Capo: 1st fret Play: Am Key: Bbm For chords in original key transpose +1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 1] Look out across the fields see me returning Smoke is in your eye you draw a smile From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning You’ve had time to think about it for a while Well I’ve walked two hundred miles look me over It’s the end of the chase and the moon is high It won’t matter who loves who You’ll love me or I’ll love you When the night comes falling When the night comes falling When the night comes falling from the sky [Verse 2] I can see through your walls and I know you’re hurting Sorrow covers you up like a cape Only yesterday I know that you’ve been flirting With disaster that you managed to escape I can’t provide for you no easy answers Who are you that I should have to lie? You’ll know all about it love It’ll fit you like a glove When the night comes falling When the night comes falling When the night comes falling from the sky [Interlude] | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 3] I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river You must have been protecting someone last time I called. I’ve never asked you for nothing you couldn’t deliver I’ve never asked you to set yourself up for a fall I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness For the love of a lousy buck I’ve watched them die Stick around baby we’re not through Don’t look for me I’ll see you When the night comes falling When the night comes falling When the night comes falling from the sky [Verse 4] In your teardrops I can see my own reflection It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line I don’t want to be a fool starving for affection I don’t want to drown in someone else’s wine For all eternity I think I will remember That icy wind that’s howling in your eye You will seek me and you’ll find ... Me in the wasteland of your mind When the night comes falling When the night comes falling When the night comes falling from the sky [Interlude] | | | | | [Verse 5] Well I sent you my feelings in a letter But you were gambling for support This time tomorrow I’ll know you better When my memory is not so short This time I’m asking for freedom Freedom from a world which you deny And you’ll give it to me now I’ll take it anyhow When the night comes falling When the night comes falling When the night comes falling from the sky [Outro] (repeat and fade)
