Chords for The Night Before Easter [Live] - Jessy Dixon

_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ The _ night [B] was so different [C] from _ [Am] all the rest.
_ [A] _
[D] Darkness now covers [G] the earth.
_ [D] _ _ [G] The stars [B] have no glimmer.
_ [A] _
The moon [Am] tries to hide.
[E] For in death lies a man of [G] that birth.
[Eb] _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] In a room filled with sorrow,
[Db] _
A [Bbm] mother cries,
[Eb] _
But Jesus, her son now, [Ab]
is gone.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] For her child [E] sent from heaven,
_ [Db] _
Was [Bbm] taken away.
_ [Eb]
Heartbroken, _ she feels [Ab] all alone.
_ [E] _ _ [A] At the feet _ [Db] of his mother,
[D] _
A [Bm] little boy cries,
[E]
Saying, Mama, _ _ _ [A] I don't understand.
_ [E] _ _ [A] I remember [Db] the look _ [D]
of love [Bm] in his eye,
[E] That I felt at the touch of [A] his hand.
[F] _ _ [Bb] And the key [D] of all ages,
[Eb] _
The [Cm] giver of life,
[F] For a moment lies silent [Bb]
and [F] still.
_ [Bb] Then a power [D] sent from heaven,
_ [Eb] _
Came [Cm] breaking the night,
_ [F] _
_ And death must bow [Bb] to his will.
[F] _ Then a storm came,
A shade,
[Eb] _
And a [Bb] bird started singing,
[F]
The sunshine was [Eb]
so _ [Bb] pretty.
And that little boy,
_ [D] _ _ _ [Eb]
And the mother [Cm] in the valley,
[Bb] They gave [F] _ _ _ [Bb]
the key.
_ _ [F] Oh, _ the moon,
And [Eb] the shade,
_ [Bb] And the bird started singing,
[F] The _ sunshine,
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] Life is brilliant,
And _ [D] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _
gay. _ _ _ _ _
