Ribbon Of Darkness
Gordon Lightfoot

WHISTLING INTRO:
D   A   A7   D   D7   G   D   A   D

D                       A 
Ribbon of darkness over me
A7                                D
Since my true love walked out the door
D7                  G
Tears I never had before
D         A             D
Ribbon of darkness over me

D                          A
Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head
A7                             D
That kill the day and hide the sun
D7                                G
That shroud the night when day is done
D         A             D
Ribbon of darkness over me

Em                     D
Rain is falling on the meadow
Em                           D
Where once my love and I did lie
Em                       D
Now she is gone from the meadow
Em F#m    G   A
My love - goodbye

D                       A
Ribbon of darkness over me
A7                                D
Where once the world was young as spring
D7                                    G
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
D         A             D
Ribbon of darkness over me

WHISTLE BREAK ONE VERSE
 
Em                      D
Here in this cold room lyin'
Em                           D
Don't want to see no one but you
Em                     D
Lord I wish I could be dyin'
Em  F#m   G   A
To  for - get you

D                              A
Oh how I wish your heart could see
A7                                 D
How mine just aches and breaks all day
D7                    G
Come on home and take away
     D         A             D
This ribbon of darkness over me
     D7                     G
Yes, come on home and take away
     D         A             D
This ribbon of darkness over me
