C                       G 
Ribbon of darkness over me

G7                                 C
 Since my true love walked out the door

C7                   F
 Tears I never had before

C          G             C
 Ribbon of darkness over me

C                         G
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head

G7                              C
 That kill the day and hide the sun

C7                                 F
 That shroud the night when day is done

C          G             C
 Ribbon of darkness over me

Dm                      C
 Rain is falling on the meadow

Dm                            C
 Where once my love and I did lie

Dm                        C
 Now she is gone from the meadow

 My love goodbye

 Ribbon of darkness over me

 Where once the world was young as spring

C7                                     F
 Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing

C          G             C
 Ribbon of darkness over me

Dm                      C
 Here in this cold room lyin'

Dm                            C
 Don't want to see no one but you

Dm                      C
 Lord I wish I could be dyin'

Dm Em      F G
 To forget you

C                               G
 Oh how I wish your heart could see

G7                                  C
 How mine just aches and breaks all day

C7                      F
 Come on home and take away

     C         G             C
This ribbon of darkness over me
