[Intro]
G+G C/GC/G G+G C/GC/G
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC G+G
Don't send me no distant salutations
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
Or silly souvenirs from far away
D MajorD D7D7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
[Verse]
G+G C majorC G/BG/B E minorEm
Over by the wildwood where young lovers go
A minorAm D MajorD
Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show
G+G C majorC G/BG/B E minorEm
If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam
A minorAm D MajorD
But a young man serves his country and an old man guards the home
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC G+G
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
'Fore memories turn dusty old and gray
D MajorD D7D7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A E minorEm
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
[Verse]
G+G C majorC G/BG/B E minorEm
I could face the darkness, oh storms in the skies
A minorAm D MajorD
But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside
G+G C majorC G/BG/B E minorEm
You only hurt yourself you don't know what you're doing
A minorAm D MajorD
Tryin' to make it all alone who you think you're fooling
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC G+G
Don't hand me nothing I can't hold
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
Or nothing that I can't give away
D MajorD D7D7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A E minorEm
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A E minorEm
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G
