Tabbed by Ann Hogan
Hello, all.
There were a few errors in the previous submission of this tab (under the
band name "The Jakes"), so I posted my corrected version of it.
In this song, some of the chords are the same, just with different
fingerings, so I marked the different ones with an asterisk (*).

On the rips of your old dress.

Twilight
Bm Aadd9 A
Passed the banks of the warm fire.
Dmaj7 Bm
Whispers in the dark, they hit the trees
Aadd9 A
And they run in to your heart to find mamas sleeves.
Dmaj7 Bm
Daddy aint awake, and daylights gone.
Aadd9 A
Afraid of the dark, you think of mamas bones.
E7
Cause I cant live like this
E7 A*
Because I heard your mama cry.
A* Dmaj7 Bm
Behind the door Im listening;
A Dmaj7*
She said shes gonna fly.
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
With words your mouth shes kissing.
E7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Bm
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,
Dmaj7*
Your back is straight;
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
Dont let hurt curve it that way."
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.
Dmaj7 Bm Aadd9 A x2
Dmaj7 Bm
Sweetness,
Bm Aadd9 A
On the ribs of your bare chest.
Dmaj7 Bm
Twilight
Bm Aadd9 A
On the roof of that snowy night.
Dmaj7 Bm
You ran outside without your boots on.
Aadd9 A
You could be lost, youd find yourself at home
Dmaj7 Bm
Where mamas house is up on the sunrise.
Aadd9 A
Sweet good God, just take me by surprise.
E7
Cause I cant live like this,
E7 A*
Because I heard your mama cry.
A* Dmaj7 Bm
Behind the door Im listening;
A Dmaj7*
She said shes gonna fly.
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
With words your mouth shes kissing.
E7* Amaj7 Dmaj7 Bm
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,

Cause I cant stand being alone
E7 Dmaj7 Bm
Cause the pain is shooting down my spine again."

Said, "Daddys feeling sick; oh, I think hes gonna quit."
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Past the stars of that open night.
