[Intro] G F#m B7 Em A7 D7 C [Verse 1]
        G                F#m      B7
Come on smoke, won't you rise and curl

       Em              A7           D7          C
To the top of the sill    where the cool breeze spills?

              G                        F#m     B7
Now that it's dusk, someone drive them off the street

        Em              A7         D7  C
Let the pavements cool,    come on now

           G                   F#m          B7
So come on love, lay your body down next to mine

                  Em          A7     D7              C
'Cause what we're longing for    has withered in the light
[Chorus 1]
        F#m                     G
Come on darkness, lay your body down on us

           Em                                 A             Asus2  A
We've been calling you for so long now, we're weary of your name

        F#m               G
Come on blackness, let me breathe you in

                 Em                         A            Asus2  A
'Cause with this clattering and din, we are calling you
[Verse 2]
G                             F#m      B7             Em
Brother have you got a smoke? Or baby, have you got a dime?

Em               A7  D7               C
Seems like we're all    a little down on our luck

G                           F#m    B7
Baby, if you're workin' now out in Bakersfield

Em      A7         D7            C
At some honky-tonk they call the Wagon Wheel
[Chorus 2]
         F#m                 G
You feel swept, and you feel rolled away

           Em          A        Asus2  A
So come on darkness, I need you today

        F#m               G
Come on blackness, let me breathe you in

                 Em                       A           Asus2  A
'Cause with this clattering and din, I am calling you
[Outro]
G  Em  A       G
       Come on darkness

G  Em  A       G
       Come on darkness
