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
