The Dark chords by Guy Clark

Chords with lyrics

I believe he plays this with 2nd fret capo on 5 strings with an open low E MajorE string

[Intro]

D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm (4x)

D MajorD       A augmentedA               E minorEm
In the dark you can sometimes hear your own heartbeat
                  D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Or the heart of the one next to you
D MajorD           A augmentedA            E minorEm
And the house settles down after holding itself up all day
       D MajorD   A augmentedA     E minorEm
Shoulders slump, gives a big sigh
            D MajorD  A augmentedA    E minorEm
You hear no one’s foot fall in the hall
D MajorD             A augmentedA         E minorEm
That drip in the kitchen sink keeps marking time
D MajorD           A augmentedA           E minorEm
June bug on the window screen can't get in, but keeps on trying
D MajorD        A augmentedA          E minorEm
One way or another we're all in the dark

[Chorus]

A augmentedA             G+G
Fireflies and sparks and lightning and stars
A augmentedA           G+G
Campfires, the moon, headlights on cars
A augmentedA                 G+G (hold)
The Northern lights, the Milky Way

You can't see that stuff in the day

D-A-Em (4x)

D MajorD          A augmentedA     E minorEm
The Earth turns its back on the sun
            D MajorD     A augmentedA       E minorEm
And the stars come out and the planets start to run, around
D MajorD        A augmentedA     E minorEm
They call that 'day is done
D MajorD        A augmentedA        E minorEm
But really it's just getting started
D MajorD        A augmentedA      E minorEm
Some folks take comfort in that

 A augmentedA        G+G
How dark is it? It's too dark for goblins
A augmentedA        G+G
How dark is it? It's so dark you can smell the moon
A augmentedA        G+G
How dark is it? It's so dark the wind gets lost
A augmentedA        G+G
How dark is it? So dark the sky's on fire
A augmentedA        G+G (hold)
How dark is it? It’s so dark you can see Fort Worth from here
