Verse 4
[G]I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
[C]How far off I sat and [G]wondered
[C]Started humming a song from [G]1962
[C]Ain’t it funny how the night [G]moves
[C]When you just don’t seem to [G]have as much to lose
[C]Strange how the night [G]moves
[C]With autumn closing [G]in
[/chorus]
Practice tip: The transition from verse to chorus is the key moment. Practice the Em-D-C-G walkdown until it flows naturally. Let the dynamics tell the story of growing up.
