Lee Hazlewood - Victims of the night

^CHmmm the searchin' fingers ^Fof the dawn Are ^Gslowly creepin' up the eastern s^Cky So I won't disturb your ^Fsleep And I'll just ^Gtouch your cheek and leave without^C goodbye

Hmm but ^Fif you find regrets are waitin' for ya In the early mornin' light Ah, ^Gdon't blame yourself and ^Fdon't blame me For ^Gwe were only ^Fvictims of the nig^Cht ^{Bb F C Bb F}

^CBefore you cuss the morning^F sun just pause And ^Gwonder are we really wrong ^C How many other lovers ar^Fe awaking to face ^Gtheir own gray ^Cdawn

And they^F must also answer probin' questions When the morning killed the night Yeah^G should they regret or co^Fuld it be We a^Gll were only ^Fvictims of the nig^Cht ^{Bb F C Bb F}

^CAs I leave you now you're s^Fmilin' And ^GI know that I'm gonna remember y^Cou that way I don't need hasty promi^Fses to cling to As I^G go to face that da^Cy

I only h^Fope that I'll awake to find the embers Still are burning bright And ^Gperhaps someday I'll find^F you and be grateful We w^Gere victims o^Ff the night ^{C Bb F C Bb F}
