Daylight

Alison Krauss:  
Daylight

 
Capo 2  
 
 
 
Am   G/B   C    D                  D9 
Daylight falls and I'm lost in the big parade 
 
D                    D9               Fm9/C 
Hold my hand darlin, I'm afraid of the daylight 
 
Am   G/B  C     D                   D9 
Shade is dark, cool and languid for love or lorn 
 
D                   D9               Fm9/C             G 
Safe in shadow its never stark as the daylight, as the daylight 
 
C          Am                F 
When I was just knee-high my Momma told me never try 
 
   Am                           F 
To be someone that I am not yet over time I had forgot 
 
    D                                     Fm 
one wondering child so lost at play, he's found himself 
 
                                   G               F 
but he can't find his way in the daylight, oh the daylight 
 
Am  G/B  C  F    Dm       Am            F   Dm 
Oh........( oh daylight ) Oh......... ( oh daylight ) 
 
Am    G/B  C  D                    D9 
Life is short and theres no turnin back the time 
 
D                    D9                    Fm9/C 
Fragrent meadows and mounts to climb in the daylight 
 
Am  G/B  C  D                D9             D 
In my mind theres a corner I need to turn, lessons lived 
 
      D9                  Fm9/C              G 
Is a lesson learned in the daylight, in the daylight 
 
C           Am             F 
I miss the forest shade it took me there the promise I made 
 
   Am                           F 
To never leave the dark so dear safe and soothing yet I fear  
 
     D                      Fm   
As I recall and I reflect I see its safer to connect  
 
       G         F         Gsus4 
To the daylight, oh the daylight 
 
Am  G/B  C  F    Dm       Am            F   Dm 
Oh........( oh daylight ) Oh......... ( oh daylight )   
 
Solo (   C    D    Am    ) 
 
Am   G/B   C    D                  D9 
Daylight falls and I'm lost in the big parade 
 
D                    D9               Fm9/C           G (slowly fade out) 
Hold my hand darlin, I'm afraid of the daylight, of the day......
