Key: G
Introduction:
G9 G Bm7 A#º G9
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
G6(9) Em7(b5) Gm7 C6 Gm6 C9
Warmer than the summer night
F9 F F7M F7M(9) F7M
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
Am E7 Fm7 A# Fm7 A#
Rising to a snowy height
Eb9 Eb Fº Aº Eb
Each star it's own aurora borealis
Cm7 Ebm7 Cº
Suddenly you held me tight
D7 Aº D7 G7M Bm7 C D7 G7M
And I could see the Midnight Sun
D7 G9 G Bm7 A#º G9
I can't explain the silver rain that found me
G6(9) Em7(b5) Gm7 C6 Gm6 C9
Or was that a moonlight veil
Gm E7 Fm7 A# Fm7 A#
The music of the universe around me
Gm E7 Fm7 A# Fm7 A#
Or was that a nightingale
Eb9 Eb Fº Aº Eb
And then your arms miraculously found me
Cm7 Ebm7 Cº
Suddenly the sky turned pale
Aº D7 G7M Bm7 C D7 G7M
I could see the Midnight Sun.
Bridge
C Em7 G9 G7(9) C
Was there ever such a night
C/B Bm7 E7 Fº A
It's a thrill I still don't quite believe
A6 D7M D A
But after you were gone
Am E7 Am7 Am6 D7
There was still the stardust on my sleeve
G9 G Bm7 A#º G9
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember
G6(9) Em7(b5) Gm7 C6 Gm6 C9
And the stars forget to shine
F9 F F7M F7M(9) F7M
And we may see the meadow in December
Em E7 Fm7 A# Fm7 A#
Icy white and crystalline
D#9 D# Fº Aº D#
But oh my darling always I'll remember
Bm7 D#m7 Cº
When your lips were close to mine
D7 Am7 D7 G7M Bm7 C D7 G6
And we saw the Midnight Sun
