Joshua James – Dark Cloud (Guitar)

G               D
Back when I was eighteen

             G                          C
Life gave me nothing but a sweet, sweet kiss

G              D
You give a man ten more years

        C                   D
You can see what it does to him

G                   D
I took a bus to the Great Salt Lake

          Em                 C
And moved south to a city of sin

            G          C             D   G
There was a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead

G                  D
I met my baby in a checkout line

        G                         C
We were laughing at the cashier's shoes

G                        D
She asked me if I wasn't going nowhere

        C                          D
I'll go nowhere if it's going with you

G                   D
We got married on a rainy Sunday

      Em                  C
I got nervous and lost my cool

            G              C             D    G
There was a bright, bright cloud hanging over you

Em                 Bm
I hope my lover is pure

C              G
I show my very best

Em                             Bm                      C                      D
There's no good reason why the things I've got are the things I'm supposed to give

            Em      D      C             D    G
There was a bright, bright cloud hanging overhead

G                        D
We bought a house in the downtown district

      G                  C
I was singing to pay the bills

G                       D
You danced naked on our kitchen table

        C                         D
We were wild, young, and ready to live

G                         D
I swore that you were the only girl

             Em            C
That I could ever be crazy for

           G                    C             D       G
Yes I said love is just another word and I'll use for it

Em                 Bm
I hope my lover is pure

C              G
I show my very best

Em                             Bm                      C                      D
There's no good reason why the things I've got are the things I'm supposed to give

            Em     D    C            D    G
There was a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead

G         D
I woke up nine years later

     G                       C
To a woman that I don't even see

G                         D
I buy her presents in the snowy season

           C                D
We'll make love every other week

G                        D
I call my parents on the weekends

               Em                 C
That I've been drinking a bit too hard

              G          C             D     G
Now there's a dark, dark cloud hanging in my heart

Em                 Bm
I hope my lover is pure

C              G
I show my very best

Em                             Bm                      C                      D
There's no good reason why the things I've got are the things I'm supposed to give

           Em     D    C             D    Em
There is a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead

D          Em     D    C            D   G
There is a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead
