#1.
E                       B
Ribbon of darkness over me..since my true love
               E
walked out the door.
                    A     E         B
Tears I never had before..ribbon of darkness over
E

me.

#2.
E                            B
Clouds are gathering over my head..that kill the
                 E
day and hide the sun.
     A          E                 A     E
That shroud the night when day is done..ribbon of
B             E
darkness over me.

BRIDGE:
Gbm     B              E       Gbm           B
Rain is falling on the meadow..where once my love
          E
and I did lie.
Gbm         B             E       Gbm          B
Now, she is gone from the meadow..my love, goodbye.

#3.
E                       B   Gbm            B
Ribbon of darkness over me, where once the world was
         E
young as spring.
E                                       A     E
Where flowers did bloom and birds would sing..ribbon
   B             E
of darkness over me.


INTERLUDE: A B A E A E B E

BRIDGE:
Gbm     B         E      Gbm
In this cold room lying..don't want to see no one but
E
you.
Gbm     Abm7            E      Gbm       B
Lord, I wish I could be dying..to forget you.

#4.
E                           B
How I wish your heart could see, how mine just takes
               E
and breaks all day.
A       E              A    E         B             E
Come on back and take away..ribbon of darkness over me.

A       E              A    E         B             E
Come on back and take away..ribbon of darkness over me.
