THE NIGHT I PAINTED THE SKY Jimmy Buffett (Buffett/Kunkel/Oliver/Guth/Mayer) 1995 Margaritaville Records August 6, 2003 [Intro] E C#m F#7 Bsus E [Verse]
I Acame from the north escaping con Evention, The Bmodern invention that won't let me Ebe To the Ashores of St. Maarten with my fiction addi G#mction, To F#restart the fire a dreamer's Bremedy
Inde Apendence day and all I re Emember, Was a Bmidnight rainbow that fell from the Esky As I Astand on the beach I slowly sur G#mrender, To the F#child in me who can't say good Bbye
The Erockets in the G#mair, And the Apeople every Ewhere C#mPut away their F#differences for a Bwhile Oh EI am still a G#mchild When it Acomes to something F#wild EThat was the Bnight I Apainted the Esky
I Adug in the sand like a boy, on a Emission. And Bthere in my hands a pyro's de Elight A Abombadier, a nighttime magi Ecian, I F#spark the sky as the rockets fly from Bview
The Erockets in the G#mair, And the Apeople every Ewhere C#mPut away their F#differences for a Bwhile Oh EI am still a G#mchild When it Acomes to something F#wild EThat was the Bnight I Apainted the Esky
[Instrumental]
Oh the Amortars they roar in antici Epation, Pre Aceding the sigh of the uplifted Eeyes It Ashowers us all in sulfuric sens Eation, The F#colors shine in a fiery rhyme to Bnight
[Verse]
The Erockets in the G#mair, And the Apeople every Ewhere C#mPut away their F#differences for a Bwhile Oh EI am still a G#mchild When it Acomes to something F#wild EThat was the C#mnight Oh, Ethat was the F#night EThat was the Bnight, I Apainted the Esky
