Verse 1:
                Chord diagramBm7Bm7
He bought her a diamond for her throat
                Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
He put her in a ranch house on a hill
E6add9
She could see the valley barbecues
         E9b5
From her window sill
        Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7             Chord diagramA13A13
See the blue pools in the squinting sun
                           Chord diagramBm7Bm7
Hear the hissing of summer lawns

Dmin7no5 - Chord diagramD7D7

            Chord diagramBm7Bm7
He put up a barbed wire fence
   Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
To keep out the unknown
E6add9
And on every metal thorn
              E9b5
Just a little blood of his own
Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
She patrols that fence of his
     Chord diagramA13A13
To a latin drum
                   Dmin7
And the hissing of summer lawns

Chorus:
Chord diagramDm7Dm7 D9(no3)
Darkness
Wonder makes it easy
Chord diagramDm7Dm7 D9(no3)
Darkness
With a joyful mask
Chord diagramDm7Dm7 D9(no3)
Darkness
Tube's gone darkness darkness darkness
No color no contrast

Verse 2:
          Chord diagramBm7Bm7
Chord diagramA augmentedA diamond dog
           Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
Carrying a cup and a cane
                  E6add9
Looking through a double glass
                  E9b5
Looking at too much pride and too much shame
             Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
There's a black fly buzzing
                               Chord diagramA13A13
There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
                      Bmin7
The hissing of summer lawns

Dmin7no5 - Chord diagramD7D7

                Chord diagramBm7Bm7
He gave her his darkness to regret
    Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
And good reason to quit him
              E6add9
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
E9b5
That nobody sits in
           Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
Still she stays with a love of some kind
         Chord diagramA13A13
It's the lady's choice
                      Dmin7
The hissing of summer lawns

Chorus:
Chord diagramDm7Dm7 D9(no3)
Darkness
Chord diagramDm7Dm7 D9(no3)
Darkness
Chord diagramDm7Dm7 D9(no3)
Darkness
repeat until fadeout
