Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
    G+G                    C/GC/G
Let me stay with you a while and tell old, old stories
    G+G       D MajorD         G+G  Gadd11
Of your oft' electric laughter and your charms
    G+G                      C/GC/G
How you came out of Montana with a wolf pup at your heels
   G+G         D MajorD        G+G  Gadd11
And a snow white rabbit huddled in your arms


Chorus:
    C/GC/G
In the darkness
    G+G
In the darkness
    C/GC/G
In the darkness

Verse 2:
  G+G                             C/GC/G
Remember, hey, those Gold Rush days, how the gold dust in the mud
   G+G        D MajorD        G+G
From Main St. leading all the way to Alder
   G+G                       C/GC/G
With sunset turned the color of a lover's throat at blush
     G+G           D MajorD        G+G  Gadd11
And with moonrise, blazed some new and silver river


Chorus:
    C/GC/G
In the darkness
    G+G
In the darkness
    C/GC/G
In the darkness


Verse 3:
   G+G                         C/GC/G
The minister was bloodless and the preachers were on fire
   G+G         D MajorD       G+G
And Mahatmas sang their love songs in nasturtiums
    G+G                        C/GC/G
But if he, or they, or any of their masters called my name
   G+G       D MajorD         G+G
I was in your holy temple and never heard them

Chorus:
    C/GC/G
In the darkness
    G+G
In the darkness
    C/GC/G
In the darkness

Break:
G+G  C/GC/G
G+G  D MajorD  G+G
G MajorG  C/GC/G
G+G  D MajorD  G+G

Verse 4:
  G+G                             C/GC/G
Remember, hey, those Gold Rush days, some Last Chance Gulch saloon
 G+G        D MajorD       G+G
You, and I, and all the miners watching
  G+G                       C/GC/G
As shadows danced across a screen as quiet as the moon
    G+G        D MajorD       G+G
Without sound, their fury signifying all things


Verse 5:
  G+G                           C/GC/G
The whole town was alive that night as we floated down the street
   G+G           D MajorD       G+G
Through fist fights, cowboy poets, parlor women
    G+G                          C/GC/G
And the light from the projector seemed to glow within your soul
    G+G       D MajorD        G+G
Like an opal throated songbird in its prism


Chorus:
    C/GC/G
In the darkness
    G+G
In the darkness
    C/GC/G
In the darkness


Verse 6:
    G+G                        C/GC/G
They're tearing down the movies now, not a stone upon a stone
   G+G       D MajorD      G+G
All dust is dust no matter how celestial
  G+G                      C/GC/G
But I, who tasted hornet juice and honey on the rose
   G+G        D MajorD       G+G
What use have I for all their cold memorials?


Verse 7:
    G+G                           C/GC/G
Still every now and then sometimes when the night sky gets so bright
    G+G       D MajorD          G+G
And no Bethlehem of stars could match its burning
  G+G                        C/GC/G
I Go out into the fields until I can feel you by my side
    G+G     D MajorD          G+G
And my memory is a book of gold thrown open


Bridge:
        C/GC/G
How you rode a white horse
         G+G
The queen of the harvest kissed your cheek
         C/GC/G
The boys all took one look
          G+G
And found that they could no longer speak


Chorus:
    C/GC/G
In the darkness
    G+G
In the darkness
    C/GC/G
