[A]
[D]Late

[Verse 1]
one night when the [G]wind was [D]still[G][D]
Daddy brought the baby to
the [A]win[D]dowsill[A]
[D]To see a bit of heaven
shoot [G]across the [D]sky
The one and only time daddy [A]saw it [D]fly[A]
[D]It [A]came from the east
just as [D]bright as a [Bm]torch
The [G]neighbors had a [D]party
[A]on their [D]porch
[A]Daddy rocked the baby,
mama [Bm]said [G]amen
When [D]Hallie came to visit in [A]1910
[D][G][D]
[A][D][G][D]
[A]
[D]Now back then
Jackson was a [G]real small [D]town[G]
[D]And it's not every night
a comet [A]comes [D]around[A]
[D]It was almost 80 years
since his [G]last time [D]through[G]
[D]So I bet your mother would
have said [A]amen [D]too[A]
[D]As his [A]tale stretched out
like a [D]stardust [Bm]streak
The [G]pa pers wrote [D]about it
every [A]day for a [D]week
We [A]wondered where it's going
and [Bm]where it's [G]been
When [D]Holly came to Jackson in [A]1910
[D][A][D][G][D]
[A][D][A][Bm][G][D][A]
[D]My daddy told the baby
sleeping in his arms
To dream a little dream
of a comet's charms
And he made a little wish
as she slept so sound
In 1986, that wish came [A]round
[D]It [A]came from the east
just [D]as bright as [Bm]a torch
She [G]saw it in the [D]sky
from her [A]daddy's [D]porch
As [A]heavenly sent as [Bm]it was back [G]then
When [D]Hallie came to [Bm]Jackson in [A]1910[D]
[A][D][G][D][A]
[D][A][Bm][G][D][Bm][A]
[D]Late one night when the
[G]wind [D]was still

[Outro 1]
