MIDNIGHT'S GONE (from the Fearless CD – Mercury Records 2000)
by Terri Clark/Gary Burr
transcribed by kdale(Dale.Krysinski at hatchmott.com)11/20/01 rev. 2/18/03


CHORDS USED:

G  = 320003
G5 = 320033
D  = x00232
D2 = x00230 (Dsus2)
D4 = x00233 (Dsus4)
C  = x32010
Em = 022000
Bm = 224432 
Am = 002210


Notes:

1. Terri generally plays a G using the 1-2 fingers on the low E and A strings instead of 
the 2-3, as in the G5 chord
2. I'm not sure about the Am chord over "say" in the break – it might be a C or an Am7 
(Am but leave the 3rd string open)
3. All of the G5 chords should be played with the top string muted,except those in the chorus, 
which should be played as shown.
4. Terri plays this by using her 3rd & 4th right hand fingers to pick out certain notes while
 using a pick on the bass notes.  Listen to the CD close and you'll see what I mean.  You can 
also play this pure fingerstyle.
5. E-mail me with any corrections or ideas – this isn't perfect!
6. Capo 1st fret to match the CD.


INTRO
G   C G5 G D   G5 C     G   C G5   G D   G5 C    


   G             C  G5      G     D            G5   C 
We got our first McDonalds and it made the headline news
     G             C   G5                G  D      G5  C 
In a town where no one locks their doors at night.
G              C   G5             G D            G5    C 
All the lights are flashing yellow, we just roll right through,
    G            C G5         G  D     G5  C
And there is not a superstore in sight


            D               Em 
But there's more to life, I told myself
    Am                          Em           D2   D   D4
I'd say goodbye by the time the clock struck twelve.





CHORUS
    G5               D4  D   D2 D    Em             C   D
And I can't pull the trigger on that changing world out there.
     G5                 D4    D D2  D Em            C    D 
With all these dreams I can't believe I'm still standing here.
     Bm 	                            Em           C              
It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought,
       C  G       D             G 
'cause midnight's gone, but I'm not.

(repeat intro; G on "not" is the first chord of the intro)



G        C G5       G   D            G5 C
Everyone I run into has known me all my life.
      G            C G5           G    D    G5  C
There are no secrets you can call your own.
G             C  G5        G    D            G5   C
Since the age of seventeen I've faced the morning light
       G           C   G5       G    D    G5  C
Saying this day is the day I'm gonna go.


      D             Em
All I have to do is drive away,

        Am                               Em      D2   D   D4
But the things that make me crazy always make me stay.


(repeat chorus)


(Instrumental – same as first two lines of the chorus)

     Bm 	                            Em           C              
It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought,
       C  G       D     C  G       D             G
'cause midnight's gone, midnight's gone, but I'm not.
