HALLEY CAME TO JACKSON (Mary-Chapin Carpenter) ----------------------------------------------
DDGDDDGD Late one night when the wind was still DDADDDAD Daddy brought the baby to the window sill DDGDDDGD To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky DDADDDAD The one and only time Daddy saw it fly
AADD It came from the east just as bright as a torch GDAD The neighbors had a party on their porch AABmG Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen" DDAD When Halley came to visit in nineteen ten
DDGDDDADDDGDDDAD [instrumental]
Now back then Jackson was a real small town And it's not every night a comet comes around It was almost eighty years since its last time through So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak The papers wrote about it every day for a week They wondered where it's going and where it's been When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
AADDGDADAABmGGGGDDAD [instrumental]
D5 ... Now 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 nineteen eighty-six that wish came 'round ... D D A D
AADD It came from the east, just as bright as a torch GDAD She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch AABmG [pause] As heavenly sent as it was back then DBmAD When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten
