[Intro]
G D C G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun
[Verse 1]
G C
It was not so long ago, maybe just a year or so
G D
When I was lonely and went looking for someone
G C
Way down south in New Orleans just a-lookin' for a dream
G D C G
And that's when I found him that's where it all begun
[Chorus]
C G
He was there on that night said for you I know I'm right
C A7 D7
I'll be with you until my race is run
G C
He walked into my life with his cold evil eyes
G D C G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun
[Verse 2]
G C
Well, my memory cannot speak and, oh Lord, I'm feeling weak
G D
But I blame it on the fact that I was young
G C
Though I know it may sound strange, there is no way I can change
G D G
What my fate has laid out for me now is done
[Chorus]
C G
He was there on that night said for you I know I'm right
C A7 D7
I'll be with you until my race is run
G C
He walked into my life with his cold evil eyes
G D C G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun
[Outro]
G D C Bb G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun
