[Intro] D G D [Verse 1]
          G                              D
This old house is falling down around my ears

  C               G           D
I'm drowning in a river of my tears

      G                               D
When all my will is gone, you hold me sway

C                 G       D      G
I need you at the dimming of the day
[Chorus 1]
    D                                    A
You pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide

    D                                A    D G C
You know just where I keep my better side-----
[Verse 2]
     G                              D
What days have come to keep us far apart?

C                 G           D
A broken promise or a broken heart

    G                                 D
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away

C                 G       D      G
I need you at the dimming of the day
[Chorus 2]
D                                 A
Come the night you're only what I want

D                                   A    D G C
Come the night you could be my confidant-----
[Verse 3]
G                                   D
I see you on the street and in company

   C                   G              D
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me

    G                              D
I'm living for the night we steal away

C                 G       D      G
I need you at the dimming of the day

C                        G       D      G
  Yes, I need you at the dimming of the day
NOTE: This is actually originally a Richard Thompson song, but the Bonnie Raitt version has changed the key and reordered some of the words. (from Longing in Their Hearts, 1994) (sent by Harlan at [email protected])
