CHORUS:
D A
Ribbon of darkness over me,
A D
Since my true love walked out the door.
D7 G
Tears I never had before.
D A D
Ribbon of darkness over me.

#1.
D
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head,

That kill the day and hide the sun.

That shroud the night when day is done,

Ribbon of darkness over me.

BRIDGE:
Em A7 D
Rain is falling on the meadow,
Em A7 D
Where once my love and I did lie.
Em A7 D
Now she is gone from the meadow,
Em A7 Em7 A7 D
My love goodbye.

#2.
D
Ribbon of darkness over me,

Where once the world was young as spring.

Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing,

Ribbon of darkness over me.

#3. (Chorus #2)
Em A7 D
Here in this cold room lyin',
Em A7 D
Don't want to see no one but you.
Em A7 D
Lord I wish I could be dyin',
Em A7 Em7 A7 D
To forget you.

CHORUS:

#4.
D
Oh how I wish your heart could see,

How mine just aches and breaks all day.

Come on home and take away,

This ribbon of darkness over me.

CHORUS:

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
