I couldn’t find any chords online for this truly wonderful song by Jim and Ingrid so I gave it a go. It’s my first tab and I’m sure it’s not accurate but it sounds close to right. Comments are more than welcome! Intro - She stood by the window and let down her hair Asked if I knew that I shouldn’t be there Her lips said goodbye but her body said stay I knew I should go but I stayed anyway And they called her child of midnight And they say she’d love Dsus2 Whomever she’d find But when morning came I loved her C Dsus2 And she stayed there in my mind She stood by the window and let down her hair Asked if I thought that it was right That she give her body and I give my mind I looked for an answer all the night And they called her child of midnight And they say she’d love Dsus2 Whomever she’d find But when morning came I loved her C Dsus2 And she stayed there in my mind She stood by the window and tied up her hair Acted as if I had never been there Her lips said goodbye but her body said stay I knew I should go but I stayed anyway And they called her child of midnight And they say she’d love Dsus2 Whomever she’d find But when morning came I loved her C Dsus2 And she stayed there in my mind Em9 - 022002 A4 - *02230 Dsus2 - **0230 C/B - 020010

Cette belle chanson évoque une rencontre passionnée entre deux êtres qui ressentent une connexion profonde, malgré les circonstances qui les entourent. Le protagoniste se trouve face à une femme qui, bien qu'elle exprime par ses mots qu'il ne devrait pas être là, attire son attention par son comportement. Un jeu de départ et de retour, de tendresse et d'incertitude, se dessine alors qu'ils naviguent entre désir et contrainte. Le contexte semble porté par la magie d'un moment nocturne, où les sentiments s'intensifient et où les décisions sont souvent difficiles à prendre. Le protagoniste est tiraillé entre le respect des conventions et l'attraction irrésistible qu'il éprouve pour elle. Les références à l’aube symbolisent aussi une prise de conscience, montrant que ces instants fugaces laissent une empreinte durable dans son esprit et son cœur.
