LET THE NIGHT FALL
As recorded by The Band
(From the 1977 Album ISLANDS)
[Intro]
G C D G C D
[Verse 1]
G C G
I am the owl who stands alone
Em D
The lonesome wild I call my home
G C G
Just like the workman when his day is done
Em G D
I can't wait for that sinking sun
[Chorus]
G Em C D
Let the night fall
G Em C D
Let the night fall, please, please
G Em C
Let the night fall
D G Em C
Let it fall on me
D G
Let it fall on me
[Verse 2]
G C G
I am the owl who calls upon the night
Em G D
I am the eyes that abandon the light
G C G
When no one's there and the dogs bark
Em D
I'm the voice howling in the dark
[Chorus]
G Em C D
Let the night fall
G Em C D
Let the night fall, please, please
G Em C

D G Em C
Let it fall on me
D G

[Verse 3]
G C G
I am the owl, old and wise
Em G D
The lord of wood with silent eyes
G C G
The cock screams at the first spark of dawn
Em D
That's my cue and I'll be moving on and on
[Out-Chorus]
