intro
RE RE SOL RE RE RE SOL RE
Late one night when the wind was still
RE RE LA RE RE RE LA RE
Daddy brought the baby to the window sill
RE RE SOL RE RE RE SOL RE
To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
RE RE LA RE RE RE LA RE
The one and only time Daddy saw it fly
LA LA RE RE
It came from the east just as bright as a torch
SOL RE LA RE
The neighbors had a party on their porch
LA LA SIm SOL
Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen"
RE RE LA RE
When Halley came to visit in nineteen ten
RE RE SOL RE RE RE LA RE RE RE SOL RE RE RE LA RE
[instrumental]
Now back then Jackson was a real small town
And it's not every night a comet comes around
It was almost eighty years since its last time through
So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak
The papers wrote about it every day for a week
They wondered where it's going and where it's been
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
LA LA RE RE SOL RE LA RE LA LA SIm SOL SOL SOL SOL RE RE LA RE
[instrumental]
RE5
Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms
To dream a little dream of a comet's charms
And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
In nineteen eighty-six that wish came 'round ... D D A D
LA LA RE RE
It came from the east, just as bright as a torch
SOL RE LA RE
She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch
A A Bm G [pause]
As heavenly sent as it was back then
RE SIm LA RE
When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten

Late one night when the wind was still
