[G]
[D]
[G] [D] [A]
[D] A ribbon of darkness [A] over me, since my true love walked [D] out the door,
Tears I never [G] had before.
[D] A ribbon [A] of darkness [D] over me, clouds are gathering o'er [A] my head,
That kill the day and hide [D] the sun, that shroud the night when day [G] is done.
A [A] ribbon of darkness [D] over me, [Em] rain [A] is falling [D] on the meadow,
[Em] Where [A] once my love and [D] I did lie, [Em] now [A] she is gone [D] from the meadow,
My [A] love, goodbye.
[D] A ribbon of darkness over me, where once the world was young [D] as spring,
Where flowers did bloom and birds [G] did sing,
[A] A ribbon of darkness [D] over me,
[G]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [D]
[Em] here in [A] this cold [D] room lying,
[Em] Don't want to [A] see no one [D] but you, [A] Lord I wish I could [D] be dying,
[A] To forget you.
[D] Oh how I wish your [A] heart could see, how mine just aches and [D] breaks all day,
Come on home and [G] take away, this [A] ribbon of darkness [D] over me,
Yes come on home and [G] take away,
[D] this [A] ribbon of darkness [D] over me.
