Ribbon Of Darkness Over Me chords
Gordon Lightfoot

Capo I *

C G G7 C C7 F C G C

C                       G
Ribbon of darkness over me
G7                                C
Since my true love walked out the door
C7                  F
Tears I never had before
C         G             C
Ribbon of darkness over me

C                         G
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head
G7                             C
That kill the day and hide the sun
C7                                F
That shroud the night when day is done
C         G             C
Ribbon of darkness over me

Dm                     C
Rain is falling on the meadow
Dm                           C
Where once my love and I did lie
Dm                       C
Now she is gone from the meadow
Dm Em       F G
My love goodbye

C                       G
Ribbon of darkness over me
G7                                C
Where once the world was young as spring
C7                                    F
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
C         G             C
Ribbon of darkness over me

Dm                     C
Here in this cold room lyin'
Dm                           C
Don't want to see no one but you
Dm                     C
Lord I wish I could be dyin'
Dm Em     F G
To forget you

C                              G
Oh how I wish your heart could see


G7                                 C
How mine just aches and breaks all day
C7                     F
Come on home and take away
     C         G             C
This ribbon of darkness over me
