Chords for By the Light of Common Day - David Crosby - The Lighthouse House album

[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] By the light of _ [F] Christmas _ _ _ day,
_ _ _ Fruits [C] were given,
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] And [F] they did [C] not starve _ [F] in the dark. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The [C] dark was worn and _ [F] clouded, _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] It was easy to [F] deceive yourself,
And _ _
[C] [A] it [C] goes _ around _ _ _ in the [F] world. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ Saying the _ _ craziness of man,
Was hurting all the same, _ _
Exactly [F] _ what he [C] gained,
And far from the pain. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Being happy isn't quite enough,
Somehow I needed to [Em] [C] make it rough,
_ Rough enough _ to _ _ break _
_ _ [G] it.
_ _ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
To make those wrong _ _ [F] connections,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
And run in the wrong [F] _ _ directions,
_ _ _ [C] Till [F] I [C] made _ _ _ [F] it look,
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
[C] What was wrong of course I [F] see now,
_ _ _ _ The _ spark [C] is there, _
All [F] the time [C] now. _ _ _
If you know _ [G] _ [D] how,
[C] To listen to [F] your calling, _ _
_ _ _ [C] The _ _ _ _ _ _ music's, [F] Quietly knocking,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em]
On your [F] door _ [C] now. _ _
[Em] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ Saying the _ _ craziness of man,
Was hurting all the same,
_ _ _ [Am] Exactly what [C] he gained,
And far to make it _ _ _ rough,
Except being happy [A] isn't quite enough,
[Am] Somehow I needed to [Em]
make [C] it rough,
_ Rough enough _ _ to break it.
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ Rough enough _ _ _ to break _ it.

_ have to look old [Am] faithful, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Each day, _ _ _ _
And open [C] _ _ up [F] your _ head, _ _ _ _
[C] [F] Some _ way, _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] Somehow, _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ And what will come in answer,
Some strong _ gentle _ dancer,
Will carry a song,
_ _ Through your _ door. _ _ _ _ _
Some brave lifting force of light,
Will come to _ balance fearful light,
_ Raise _ its voice,
And then raise your heart.
_ _ _ _ _ Raise _ its voice,
And then raise your _ _ heart. _ _ _ _
Raise _ its voice,
And then raise your _ heart. _ _ _
