Somewhere Other Than the Night
By : Garth Brooks &

This is a great accoustic ballad. It is played moderately slow, and **Capoed
at the 1st fret***. Enjoy

I'm sorry that the lyrics are not entered under the tab, but since this song
is played so slow, to make it fit, I would have to put about one measure per
line. I hope this works-- I've entered numbers in the TAB (1*,2*,3*,...) that
correspond to the begining of the line in the lyrics.
1* He could see the storm clouds rollin' across the hill
2* He barely beat the rain in from the field
3* And between the back door slammin' she heard him say
4* Damn this rain and damn this wasted day
5* But she'd been waitin' for this day for oh so long
6* She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her apron on
7* And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while
8* When their eyes met they both began to smile
Chorus:
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to hear I love you
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know you care
She wants to know she's needed
And she needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
9* They spent the day wrapped up in a blanket on the front porch swing
10* He'd come to realize he'd neglected certain things
11* And there are times she feels alone even by his side
12* It was the first time she ever saw him cry
Chorus:
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to hear I love you
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know you care
She wants to know she's needed
And she needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
To know she's needed
But she needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
