To: [email protected] MIME-Version: 1.0 Status: O The Darkest Hour Author: Traditional Performer: Dwight Yoakam CD: "South of Heaven, West of Hell" soundtrack (Delta Deuce Films/Goldmount Pictures/Trimark Picture; Reprise Records) Submitted by: [email protected] Notes: This is a pretty easy little song, but you really need to listen to the CD to get that Dwight feel for bass runs and vocalization. Otherwise, nothing fancy to worry about.

G                   C           G
The darkest hour is just before dawn.

                     D
The narrow way leads home.

    G                 C      G
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet.

                     D           G
The darkest hour is just before dawn.

G                   C
The saddest soul is thinking,

     G                 D
Of a day that's almost gone.

      G               C
Still darkness falls around us,

    G       D       G
And we must journey on.

[Chorus] x3

G                          C
Like a shepherd out on the mountain,

  G                         D
A-watching his sheep down below,

     G              C
He's coming back to claim us.

     G      D        G
Will you be ready to go?
