When The Night Was Young

Intro
G C D
[Verse]
G                   Em    C
 We headed straight south in a 
            D
sundown light
G            Em   C              
 On highway 61 through the delta 
D
night
G              Em           
 We shared the backroads with 
 C                D
cardsharks and grifters
G           Em            C     
 Tent show evangelists and Luke 
    D
the Drifter
[Bridge]
Hm           Em
What is lost what is missing
Am7               D7
What's been gone way too long

[Chorus]
G             D\F#

G                   D\F#       
We were believers when the 
     C
night was young
G                   G D\F#
We could change the world stop the 
war
C
Never seen nothing like this before
Am7                        D7
But that was back when the night was
 young

[Verse]
Sign reads God Bless America guns 
and ammo
I'm not sure that's what He means
Sign reads repent the end is near
I'm not sure that's what we need
[Bridge]
Get your heart beating in the right 
direction
That's when you make a real 
connection

[Chorus]
We had dreams when the night was 
young
We were believers when the night was
 young
We could change the world stop the 
war
Never seen nothing like this before
But that was back when the night was
 young

[Verse]
Now Andy Warhol's in the hotel lobby
He's waiting for the late night muse
But she won't be back before morning
She's gone downtown to hear some 
blues
[Bridge]
Like the sun rising out of the sea
It's how you embrace the mystery
[Chorus](sing twice)
We had dreams when the night was 
young
We were believers when the night was
 young
We could change the world stop the 
war
Never seen nothing like this before
But that was way back when the night
 was young
