[E] _ _ [B] _ [E] Late one night when the wind was still, _ _ Daddy brought the baby [B] to the [E] window sill

It _ [B] came from the east [E] just as bright as the torch [A] The neighbors [E] had a party on their porch
[B] Daddy rocked the baby, [A] mother said amen [E] When Hallie came to [B] visit in [E] 1910

_ _ _ Now back then Jackson was a real small town It's not every night [B] a comet [E] comes around
It's [B] _ [E] _ almost 80 years since it's last time through So I bet your mother would [B] have said [E] amen too
[B] As [E] [B] its tail stretched [E] out like a [A] stardust streak The [E] papers wrote [B] about it every [E] day for a [B] week
They wondered where it's [A] going and where it's [E] been When Hallie came to [B] Jackson in [E] [B] 1910

Daddy told the baby sleeping in his [B] [A] arms [E] _
To dream a little dream of a comet's charm
_ _ And he made a little wish as she slept so [B] sound [E] In _ 1986 that wish came round

[B] It came from the east [E] just as [A] bright as the torch She saw [E] it in the sky [B] from her daddy's porch
As heavenly set [A] as it was back then
