Intro:
[Riff 1]

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
[Riff 2]Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm [A]free
[G]Free to be [E]me
[A]Black night is a [G]long way from [B]home

[Riff 1]

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
[Riff 2]Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm [A]free
[G]Free to be [E]me
[A]Black night is a [G]long way from [B]home

[Verse] x 12
[Riff 2]

[Riff 1]

Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark light
[Riff 2]Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm [A]free
[G]Free to be [E]me
[A]Black night is a [G]long way from [B]home
