Db                       Ab
Ribbon of darkness over me
Ab7                                 Db
 Since my true love walked out the door
Db7                   Gb
 Tears I never had before
Db          Ab             Db
 Ribbon of darkness over me


Db                         Ab
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head
Ab7                              Db
 That kill the day and hide the sun
Db7                                 Gb
 That shroud the night when day is done
Db          Ab             Db
 Ribbon of darkness over me


Ebm                      Db
 Rain is falling on the meadow
Ebm                            Db
 Where once my love and I did lie
Ebm                        Db
 Now she is gone from the meadow
Ebm Fm        Gb Ab
 My love goodbye


Db                       Ab
Ribbon of darkness over me
Ab7                                 Db
 Where once the world was young as spring
Db7                                     Gb
 Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
Db          Ab             Db
 Ribbon of darkness over me


Ebm                      Db
 Here in this cold room lyin'
Ebm                            Db
 Don't want to see no one but you
Ebm                      Db
 Lord I wish I could be dyin'
Ebm Fm      Gb Ab
 To forget you


Db                              Ab
Oh how I wish your heart could see
Ab7                                  Db
 How mine just aches and breaks all day
Db7                      Gb
 Come on home and take away
     Db         Ab             Db
This ribbon of darkness over me
