The Night I Painted The Sky

Written by Jimmy Buffett/Roger Guth/Russ Kunkel/Peter Mayer/Jay Oliver

	  		Intro 
 
(E)  (C#m)  (F#7)  (Bsus)  (E) 
                              
I (A) came from the north escaping con(E)vention,  
The (B) modern invention that won't let me (E) be  
To the (A) shores of St. Maarten with my fiction addi(G#m)ction, 
To (F#) restart the fire a dreamer's (B) remedy 
 
Inde(A)pendence day and all I re(E)member, 
Was a (B) midnight rainbow that fell from the (E) sky 
As I (A) stand on the beach I slowly sur(G#m)render, 
To the (F#) child in me who can't say good(B)bye 
  
The (E) rockets in the (G#m) air, 
And the (A) people every(E)where  
(C#m) Put away their (F#) differences for a(B)while  
Oh (E) I am still a (G#m) child 
When it (A) comes to something (F#) wild  
(E) That was the (B) night I (A) painted the (E) sky 
 
I (A) dug in the sand like a boy, on a (E) mission. 
And (B) there in my hands a pyro's de(E)light 
A (A) bombadier, a nighttime magi(E)cian, 
I (F#) spark the sky as the rockets fly from (B) view 
 
The (E) rockets in the (G#m) air, 
And the (A) people every(E)where  
(C#m) Put away their (F#) differences for a(B)while  
Oh (E) I am still a (G#m) child 
When it (A) comes to something (F#) wild  
(E) That was the (B) night I (A) painted the (E) sky 
 
Instrumental 
 
Oh the (A) mortars they roar in antici(E)pation, 
Pre(A)ceding the sigh of the uplifted (E) eyes  
It (A) showers us all in sulfuric sens(E)ation, 
The (F#) colors shine in a fiery rhyme to(B)night 
 
The (E) rockets in the (G#m) air, 
And the (A) people every(E)where  
(C#m) Put away their (F#) differences for a(B)while  
Oh (E) I am still a (G#m) child 
When it (A) comes to something (F#) wild  
(E) That was the (C#m) night  
Oh, (E) that was the (F#) night 
(E) That was the (B) night, I (A) painted the (E) sky 
 
Fade out...
