The Dark chords by Guy Clark

Guitar chords with lyrics

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

[Intro]

D A Em (4x)

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

[Chorus]

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

You can't see that stuff in the day

D-A-Em (4x)

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

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