Light up with me my dear,
Light up.
Under stormy night, tell nobody.

Start strumming pattern

         

                               
My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
                                  
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
                                               
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.

You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.

               
But Sean don't get callous,
              
I'm sure it'll be fine.
             
I love you, I love you,
                (mandolin/piano enter)
Oh brother of mine.

             


In the quivering forest,
          
Where the shivering dog rests,
       
I will do it grandfather,
        
Wilt to wood and end.
        
And the river got frozen,
        
And the hole got snowed in,
        
And the yellow moon glowed bright,
         
Till the morning light.
           
Terrible am I child?
             
Even if you don't mind,
          E (etc.)
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And the yellow moon glowed bright
Till the morning light.

Terrible am I child?
              
Even if you don't mind,
C#m7       Repeat intro to fade
No.
