Engine's turning, but there ain't no spark
F
Owls a-hooting, but the dog won't bark
No more greetings from the meadowlark
G C
Deep in the darkest night
[Verse 2]
Am
I tried to warn you, but you'd gone too far
F
The cut was serious, but it left no scar
Now you're waving from a distant star
G F
Deep in the darkest night
[Chorus]

You climbed your ladder while the sun shone bright
E7 Am C
Now you're a memory, never out of sight
A shining light
F G
Deep in the darkest night

Bm
You were youngest, but you stepped out first
G
You were gifted, but the gift was cursed
Your gave your good heart 'til your good heart burst
A D
Deep in the darkest night
[Verse 4]
Bm
You spoke your word and your word was trust
But a will of iron can so easily rust
G
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
A G
Deep in the darkest night___

When you see me coming, give that rebel yell

Deep in the darkest night
