Israel Nash Gripka - Strong Was The Night

      [Intro]
G Am
G Am


[Verse 1]
G                        Am
  I have crossed all the rivers,
G                        Am
  shed my last and final fears.
G                              Am
  Thought I walked through the fires
G                         Am
 'til I saw the smoke and mirrors.


[Break 1]
(let all ring)
Em F

[Verse 2]
G                     Am
  Let me shine like a jewel
G                    Am
  under moon crested light.
G                         Am
  Help to keep these eyes open
G                     F      Em      Am
 'til it's all out of sight.


[Chorus 1]
(let all ring)
F          C         G          F
Woh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh, Oh I could be
F               C            G             F
Strong like the night ca-alm as the inland sea
F              C            G              F
I speak to the wind and the wind speaks to me.

[Verse 3]
G                  Am
  Everything has a story.
G                       Am
  All things, they must pass.
G                               Am
  Once it brought me strife and worry.
G                          F      Em     Am
  Now at times it makes me laugh.


[Chorus 2]
(let all ring)
F          C         G          F
Woh-oh oh, Oh-oh oh, Oh I could be
F               C            G             F
Strong like the night ca-alm as the inland sea
F                  C            G                 F
My voice drowns in waves saying will you remember me


[Break 3]
G          F
  Remember me
G         F
  whisper-ing
G F
G F

 G     G     Em Em    F
