Chords for Melody Gardot - Goodnight - 8/9/2008 - Newport Jazz Festival (Official)

_ It's [B] not so [F] contrived that you sit down and you think,
[B] okay, I'm going to write.
[Em] It's more a [F] matter of a moment where you feel everything,
and for me, [G] you know, the lyrics and [F] the music and the melody
and everything [Fm] come [Em] all at the same time.
[C] _ [F] I spend _ the times when I'm writing
[Bbm] under the challenge of trying to catch it.
It's that same [Db] moment as if you were, if you were sleeping
and [C] you were in a dream and [F] you have this vivid picture
of what's going on, and then you arise and you want to remember.
So you have about 5 or 10 minutes to catch it,
and if you don't [C] write it down and you don't [Bb] capture it,
[F] it floats away.
And [B] music, for me, is the same.
It comes like a dream.
All of it's there, the arrangements,
the melody, the harmony, the lyrical sense,
and there have been times I've missed it if I don't sit down
and I catch [N] it, and then I never really see it again.
_ [Db] _ [Gb] If [F] you're gonna go [Bb] and leave me
[C] _
[F] As all of you will when we're done
[Gm] You _ _ _ better make it right _
_ [A] _ _ [Cm] _ Don't [Am] _ _
_ _ [N] go, _ _ [D] no _ _ _ _ _ _ Without _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ saying _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Good _ _ _ [Bb] night
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ Good night
Close your eyes and just sleep tight
[Ab] I'll [C] lie here and watch you dream
To be [A] sure that all of your dreams
[Gm] All of your dreams _ _
My dear, _ don't you worry about a thing
[Bb] I'll [C] be near to [D] you all [C] night
_ [Bb] And through the _ [C] evening _
_ _ [E] I'll be by your [Gm] side
So good night
[A] Close your [Bb] eyes and just sleep _ [A] tight
I'll lie awake and [Gm] watch you dream
To [Fm] be sure that all [C] of your _ [D] dreams
[Gb] All of your [Gm] dreams _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [F] _ _

[Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [D] Why are [E] you _ _ slumbering?
In case you ever wonder
If a summer breeze [Am] just brushed your chin
_ No, [G] it's me, good [Bb] night
[Am] _ Close [D] your [Gm] eyes and just sleep [A] tight
I'll lie awake [Gm] and watch you dream
To [Fm] be sure that [C] all of your _ [Gb] dreams
All of [C] your [Gb] _
dreams
The [Am] essence of anyone who [D] is [E] genuinely _ [Bb] a singer,
genuinely a performer,
is [Bm] something that I would [Bb] aspire to do, to sing.
I [F] don't write anything other than what I know,
[Bb] and I [Gm] don't sing anything other than what I know is [Am] the same.
[G] _ _ [Dm] You sing [C] without restraint, [D] and you sing without cause.
You sing because [Bb] it's the [Em] thing to do and [F] because you're [D] moved.
[E]
And if I had to [C] continue on any way and [Dbm] on any path,
that would be the way that I [A] would go.
[C] _ _ [D] When the day dawns

Bonne nuit
_ From tes yeux jusqu'au-dessus
_ [Am] Je te regarde [Gm] et tu l'as ennuyé
Pourquoi [Ab] tu [C] la nuis à [Db] l'aube
