[G] [Am] [C] [G]
Over by [C] the wild [G] [Em] wood, hot summer night We [Am]
lay in the tall grass [D]
till the morning light
If [G]
I had [C] my way [G] I'd never [Em]
get the urge to roam
But [Am] a young man serves his country, [D] an old man guards the home
[G]
Don't send me [C] no silly [G]
salutations or silly [C] souvenirs [G] from [Am] far away
[D] Don't leave me alone in the twilight, twilight is the loneliest [G] time of day
[C]
[G] [C] [Em]
[C]
[Bm] [C] [G] I never gave it [C] a second [G] thought, [Em]
it never crossed my mind
[Am]
What's right or what's not, [D]
I ain't the judging kind
[G] I can take [C] the darkness home, [Em]
storms in the sky
[Am]
But we all got certain trials, [D]
burning up inside
[G] Don't put me in a [C] frame upon [G] a mantle
For memories [C] grow dusty, [G] old [Am] and gray
[C] [D] Don't leave me alone in the twilight, twilight is the loneliest [G] time of day
[C]
[G] [C] [Em]
[C]
[Bm] [Am] [C] [G]

Don't [G] leave [C] me alone [Bm] in the [C] twilight, [G] [C]
[D] twilight is the loneliest time of day
