Chords for Crystal Gayle First TV 1970 - ribbon of darkness over me

You know we've been associated in country music for quite a number of
years Teddy but I don't [F#] believe that [N] we've ever_
I ain't gonna tell them how long.
_ In fact it's been so long I forgot about it so don't pay attention to my singing.
But you talk about a talented family. _
Loretta Lynn's sisters and brother here
they're all four great singers and _ _ surprisingly enough Jay Lee Webb and
Peggy Sue and Loretta Lynn all had records and hit songs in the top 50
across the nation at the same time and Crystal Gale is going to be recording
before long we'll be looking for one of her songs in the top 50.
I guess they'll all have to move over for her won't they?
It looks_
why [D] don't we all move over for her now and let her sing and this is her
first time on our show ladies and gentlemen make her welcome will you Crystal Gale.
_ [E] Ripping the darkness [A] over _ me
Since my true love walked [D] out the _ door
_ Tears I've never [G] had before
_ [D] _ [A] Ripping the darkness [D] over _ _ _ me
Clouds are gathering [A] over my _ head
They chill the day and [D] hide the _ sun
And surround the night when [G] day is done
_ [D] _ [A] Ripping the darkness [D] over _ _ [Em] me
[A] Rain is falling [D] off the meadow
_ [Em] Where [A] once my lover
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] Now [A] he is gone [D] from the _ meadow [Em] Ma _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ Ripping the darkness [A] over _ _ me
Since the world was young [D] and free
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ [A] Ripping the darkness [D] over me
_ Ripping [A] the darkness [D] over me
_ Ripping the darkness over me
Oh, there you go.
_ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ All right that's uh that's your youngest sister in it.
That's the baby of the family.
The baby of the family.
And I ain't the oldest.
No, _ [Em] _ _ _ I think that's a voice that you folks are going to be hearing a lot from
in the future years.
A real fine job.
I sure enjoyed listening to [F#] it then I'll tell you.
She sings better than you do Teddy.
Better than you do too.
What do you think I've got you here for?
I don't sing.
Jay Lee sings a lot better than you too.
Why don't you give him the microphone let him sing.
[C] I know he does.
Jay Lee what do you think of that uh baby sister of yours?
I think she's kind of growing up a little bit.
I think she has too and you've had several hit records under your belt.
Why don't you do the folks a song?
All right.
_ _ I'm a [F]
broad-minded man that's what my woman tells me.
She can't see the reason why [D] girls are all I [G] see.
[C] Says I'd better straighten up real quick but I can't change what [F] I am
because I've got women [C] on the brain.
I'm [G] a broad-minded [C] man.
_ _ [F] I've got a one-track mind.
There's no two ways [C] about it.
[B] I don't like to [A] try [D] _ [G] to hide.
[C] My little woman she comes from the hill but I like [F] bottom land.
I can't [C] change the way I am.
I'm [G] a broad-minded [C]
man.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [N] _ _ I don't know about singing better than Dahl.
Listen you know what you've been taking lessons from Dahl.
He never does get all the words.
I have known my baby brother Teddy to miss a few too Jay so don't worry about it.
Oh okay I'll [C] try now.
I'll tell you after listening to you and Crystal sing _
one thing I have to say that door will never open again.
Just [E] sure as the world because they're too good for us.
Yeah probably won't.
_ _ [D] _
_ [G] Now that_
Thank you very kindly.
_ [B]

You know uh Jay Lee has other talents other than singing.
Hand me that fiddle buddy.
Give me give me that fiddle.

It's enough for [F#] me.
Come here Jay.
