A                       E 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
E                                 A                                 
Since my true love walked out the door 
                   D 
Tears I never had before 
A             E         A  
Ribbon of darkness over me  
A                          E 
Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head 
                                A 
That chill the day and hide the sun 
                                  D 
That shroud the night when day is done 
A              E        A     
Ribbon of darkness over me  
Bm      E              A 
Rain is falling in the meadow 
Bm            E               A 
Where once my love and I did lie 
Bm          E               A        
Now she is gone but not for gotten 
Bm         E 
My love goodbye  
A                       E 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
                                   A 
Where once the world was young as spring 
                         D 
Flowers  bloom and birds sing 
A         E             A  
Ribbon of darkness over me  
 
SOLO 
 

Bm      E          A 
In this cold room lyin' 
Bm            E               A 
Don't want to see no one but you 
Bm             E       A 
Lord I wish I could be dyin' 
Bm        E 
To forget you  
A                       E 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
E                                 A                                 
Since my true love walked out the door 
                   D 
Tears I never had before 
A             E         A  
Ribbon of darkness over me  
A              E        A 
Ribbon of darkness over me
