Engine's turning, but there ain't no spark
                                        F

No more greetings from the meadowlark

The cut was serious, but it left no scar

Now you're waving from a distant star

Deep in the darkest night


                                  C
You climbed your ladder while the sun shone bright
E7                   Am                 C
Now you're a memory, never out of sight

A shining light

You were youngest, but you stepped out first
                                          G
You were gifted, but the gift was cursed

Your gave your good heart 'til your good heart burst
A                          D
Deep in the darkest night


verse 4
                                             Bm
You spoke your word and your word was trust

But a will of iron can so easily rust
G
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
A                         G
Deep in the darkest night___

When you see me coming, give that rebel yell
G                   A     Bm  A D G  F#  G  D  G  A
Deep in the darkest night
