Song: A Cold Night Close to the End
Artist: Said the Whale
Album: Islands Disappear (2009)


I was really disappointed to find that the chords for my favorite Said the Whale
song were not online. I checked everywhere, and I'm certain that I'm the first to
get these chords online. I double checked this with a video of a live
performance, and these chords are 100% accurate. Enjoy, everyone.

(Standard tuning with capo on 2)


A Cold Night Close to the End


C
Be sure to be quiet

In the middle of the night,
F
When the dogs are asleep and

The wind is high.
C
Grab out things and wait

by the window,
E
I'll meet you by the window.


F
And we'll make no tracks
G
In the snow.
C E
We'll follow the lakes to where the
Am F
Cold north wind will
G
Cover for us both
C
So we can hide.

F G
And if we survive
C E
The cold, and the night
Am F
In the dead of winter,
G
We'll watch the sun rise on the ice
C
Together

F G
And if we are to die tonight,
C E
In your arms I'll lay,
Am F
And it never felt better;
G
And at least we will leave here
C
Together.


La da da da... [F G C E Am F G C] x2


F G
In the still of the night
C E
My bare hands, your pale skin
Am F
Reflected in the moonlight.
G
And we pray and we pray
C
To the wind.
F G
And your hand in my hand's
C E
As soft as the sunlight
Am F
When the day begins,
G
And as cold as the night
C
Blows in.



F G
And if we are to die tonight,
C E
I pray with my heart
Am
That you will love me forever
F G
And at least we will leave here
C
Together.
