[Bb] [Gm]
[Bb]
Over by [Eb] the
[Bb] [Gm] wildwood, hot summer night,
[Cm] We lay in the tall grass, [F] till the morning light.
[Bb] If I had [Eb] my [Bb] way, I'd [Gm] never get the urge to roam,
[Cm] But a young man serves his [Eb] country,
[F] And an old man guides the home.
[Bb] Don't send [Eb] me no distant [Bb] salutations,
Or slay [Eb] souvenirs [Gm] from [Cm] far away.
[F] Don't leave me alone in the twilight,
Cause twilight is the [Bb] loneliest time of day.
The
[Eb] [Bb] sun [F] will come out [Bb] soon.
I never [Eb] gave a [Bb] second [Gm] thought, never crossed my mind.
[Cm] What's right,
[Eb] what's [F] not, I paid the judge in kind.
[Bb] I can [Eb] take the [Gm] darkness, all the storms in the sky,
[Cm] But we all got certain [F] trials, burning up inside.
[Bb] Don't put me in [Eb] a frame [Bb] upon a mantle,
Or memories [Eb] turn [Gm] dusty, [Cm] old and gray.
[F] Don't leave me alone in the twilight,
Cause twilight is the [Bb] loneliest time of day.
[Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Gm]
[Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] Oh,
[Eb] [F] don't leave me alone in the twilight,
Cause twilight is the loneliest [Bb] time of day.
