A5                       E5 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
E5                                 A5                                 
Since my true love walked out the door 
                   D5 
Tears I never had before 
A5             E5         A5  
Ribbon of darkness over me  
A5                          E5 
Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head 
                                A5 
That chill the day and hide the sun 
                                  D5 
That shroud the night when day is done 
A5              E5        A5     
Ribbon of darkness over me  
B5      E5              A5 
Rain is falling in the meadow 
B5            E5               A5 
Where once my love and I did lie 
B5          E5               A5        
Now she is gone but not for gotten 
B5         E5 
My love goodbye  
A5                       E5 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
                                   A5 
Where once the world was young as spring 
                         D5 
Flowers  bloom and birds sing 
A5         E5             A5  
Ribbon of darkness over me  
 
SOLO 
 

B5      E5          A5 
In this cold room lyin' 
B5            E5               A5 
Don't want to see no one but you 
B5             E5       A5 
Lord I wish I could be dyin' 
B5        E5 
To forget you  
A5                       E5 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
E5                                 A5                                 
Since my true love walked out the door 
                   D5 
Tears I never had before 
A5             E5         A5  
Ribbon of darkness over me  
A5              E5        A5 
Ribbon of darkness over me
