Intro: E, D, A, E (4x)

E               D                A         E    
  Come in, come in, come in, come in 
E                    D            A         E       
  from under these darling skies...       come in 
E                   D               A         E
it's warm and it's safe here and almost harkening 
E          D                  A               E  
off to a time and place now lost in our imagination 
A                                         E
where you don't complain- but you still do 
A                                          E   
and you don't explain-but you still want to-explain 
  B                        A 
what you believe what you say without shame, 'I just do' 
   Dbm                      A  
to say what you mean you don't mean what you say or you do 
        B            A
where the wild are strong 
         Dbm             A
and the strong are the darkest ones 
                   E     B         A
and you're the darkest one 

E, D, A, E (2x)

E               D                A         E    
Come in, come in, come in, come in 
E                D            A           E       
from thin and wicked prarie winds,        come in 
E                   D               A         E
it's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening 
E          D                  A               E  
here in a time and place not lost in our imagination 
A                                     E
where you don't explain-but you still do 
A                                 E
and you can complain-if you want to-complain
  B                                 A  
where you're real instrumental or supple or sexy as hell 
   Dbm                      A  
where you say I believe or say without shame 'I can't tell' 
        B            A
where the wild are strong 
         Dbm             A
and the strong are the darkest ones 
                 E     B         A
and you're the darkest one 
                   E      B         A
O' and you're the darkest one 
                   E      B         A
and if that's what you want 
                     E     B         A
O' then you're the darkest one 


E, D, A, E (Repeat to end)
