Biography:
Camper Van Beethoven is an alternative rock band that was founded in 1983 in Redlands, California, though the band soon moved to Santa Cruz, California. Camper Van Beethoven mixed elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, country, and acid rock into an eclectic, catchy and sometimes mysterious ensemble, years before the so-called alternative rock moniker came to mainstream attention.
The group's trademark violin-coated melodies and their ironic take on American culture put them one step away from being a novelty act in the eyes of many critics.

VERSE 1:
G G F#m B
Come on slowly, won't you rise and come
Em A7 D A C
To the top of this hill, where the cool breeze spills
G G F#m B
Now that it's dusk, someone drives them off the street
Em A7 D A C
Let the pavements cool, come on now
G G F#m B
So come on love, and lay your body down, next to mine
Em A7 D A C
'Cause what we're longing for, has withered in the light
CHORUS:
F#m F#m G G
Come on darkness, Lay your body down on us
Em Em A Asus2
We've been calling you for so long now, we're weary of your name
F#m F#m G G
Come on blackness, let me breathe you in
Em Em A Asus4 A
'Cause with this clattering and din, we are calling you
VERSE 2:
G G F#m B
Brother have you got a smoke, or baby have you got a dime
Em A7 D A C
Seems like we're all, a little down on our luck
G G F#m B
And baby if you're workin' now, out in Bakersfield
Em A7 D A C
At some honky-tonk, they call the Wagon Wheel
CHORUS:
F#m F#m G G
I feel swept, and you feel rolled away
Em Em A7 A7sus2
So come on darkness, I need you today
F#m F#m G G
So come on blackness, let me breathe you in
Em Em A7
'Cause with this clattering and din, I am calling you
FINALE:
G Em
Come on darkness
A7 G
Come on darkness
