Heart of Darkness
Words & Music by Chris DeBurgh                    

 Gm          F               Eb                    F
Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
 Gm             F                 Eb - F
The light that all men seem to fear,
 Eb            F            Bb             Eb
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
     Cm  
And people kept away,
        Ab/C                                   Gm
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
                   F
When the morning comes,
    Eb             F                 Gm
And on and on that light returns again,
F  Eb                 F                      Gm - F - Eb - F - Gm - F - Eb
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;

I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones,
The place I knew when I was young,
And in my fear I had to carry on,
Where no-one else had gone,
Looking in the heart of darkness from above,
To the man inside,
I took my chance and set off for the light,
And started the journey of my life;

 F          Gm                           Eb
And in the darkest hour that light was calling me,
             F                     Gm
Through the doorway to another world,
                                  Eb
And there below me I saw all the days of my life,
            Cm                   D
Till the moment I stood on the shore,

Worlds away, this was my destiny,
To be back here in another time,
And all around me I saw the faces that I knew,
Reaching out, "there is nothing to fear,"
Worlds away,
Come with me;

 Gm           F              Eb
Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
 Gm             F               Eb - F
The light that all men seem to fear;
Eb        F   Eb         F  Eb        F      
Come with me, come with me, come with me...
