Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark - Robert Cray


Please notice a few things... :)

If you want to play with original recording use capo on 1st fret or just play the whole 
song half-step higher (Bbm).

In chorus you can play the (G) chord like passing chord, it's not a mistake, but there 
is no actual G chord at that place in original recording, just some passing tones that 
may sound to you like one.



intro   Am


Am
Dead of night, baby, we're finally alone
I'll pull down the shades if you unplug the phone
Put on some music, Marvin Gaye's real nice
Once we get settled I'll turn out the lights


G                                            Am
Don't be afraid of the dark, don't be afraid of the dark
D5                         C5        (G)          Am
I'll be there to hold you, don't be afraid of the dark


It might be scary until your eyes adjust
Don't fear the shadows, me you can trust
I'm at my best in a pitch-black room
Hold on tight, baby, you'll feel the power soon


chorus


I'll be there to hold you, don't be afraid of the dark


solo   G  Am  Dm7  Am  Em7  Dm7  Am


You might tremble, you might shake
Scream out loud, you may even break
I know which moods suit you right
You'll beg for more, you'll forget about the night


chorus (repeat)
