Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
          G           E           Am          D
When it's dark as the dark at the bottom of a mine

        G             E           Am  D7
And the moon's just a star in the sky

        G            B               Em            A7
And the pound of her heart keeps her crossing your mind

         G         D            G     D7
And it's still the still of the night
[Verse 2]
    G            E      Am         D
The willow still weeps, time still creeps

          G          E              Am    D7
And there ain't no relief that's in sight

       G              B           Em          A7
Just a long, lonesome song that I feel coming on

         G         D            G     D7
And it's still the still of the night
[Bridge]
     Em                E
What does it say about shadows that they

Am                   D    D7
Only come out in the sun?

     Em                             E
Even those who, by rights, should belong to the night

       Am                    D    D7
Get to sleep when the day is done
[Verse 3]
     G            E          Am                D
I've stayed up so late, I've watched, and I've waited

   G            E             Am D7
In case someday morning comes by

       G          B              Em           A7
Please ask her to stay, tell her I've lost my way

         G         D            G     D7
And it's still the still of the night
[Outro]
       G          B              Em           A7
Please ask her to stay, tell her I've lost my way

         G         D            G
And it's still the still of the night
