Patty Griffin - Kite Song
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   C    Am    G    F(2x)
Sunday Cafter, there was Amlaughter in the air
EveryGbody had a kite, they were Fflying everywhere
And all the Ctrouble went away and it Amwasn't just a dream
All the Gtrouble went away and it Fwasn't just a dream
In middle of the night, we try and Gtry with all our might
To Amlight a little Glight down Fhere
In middle of the night, we dream Gof a million kites
Flying Amhigh above the Gsadness and the Ffear
INSTRUMENTAL:    C     Am     G     F(2x)
Little Csister, just remember, as you Amwander through the blue
The little Gkite that you sent flying on a FSunday afternoon
Made of Csomething light as nothing, made of Amjoy, that matters too
How the Glittle dreams we dream, are all Fwe can really do
In the middle of the night the world Gturns with all it's might
A Amlittle diamond, Gcoloured blueF  
In middle of the night we keep Gsending little kites
UnAmtil a little Glight gets FthroughG  
OUTRO:    C     Am     G      F     C     Am     G  F
