[Riff 1] 

Black night is not right 
I don't feel so bright 
I don't care to sit tight 
[Riff 2]Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm [A]free 
[G]Free to be [E]me 
[A]Black night is a [G]long way from [B]home 

[Riff 1] 

I don't need a dark tree 
I don't want a rough sea 
I can't feel, I can't see 
[Riff 2]Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm [A]free 
[G]Free to be [E]me 
[A]Black night is a [G]long way from [B]home

Black night, black night 
I don't need black night 
I can't see dark light 
[Riff 2]Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm [A]free 
[G]Free to be [E]me 
[A]Black night is a [G]long way from [B]home
