D                     A
Ribbon of darkness over me
                                    D 
Since my true love walked out the door
                     G
Tears I never had before
  D          A           D
Ribbon of darkness over me
  D                           A
Clouds are gatherin' o'er my head
                                 D
That chill the day and hide the sun
                                    G
That shroud the night when day is done
  D          A           D
Ribbon of darkness over me
  A                      D
Rain is fallin' on the meadow
  A                           D
Where once my love and I did lie
 A                          D
Now she is gone from the meadow
A    G      D
My love, goodbye

Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom and birds would sing
Ribbon of darkness over me

In this cold room lyin'
Don't wanna see no one but you
Lord, I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you

How I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me
Come on back and take away 
Ribbon of darkness over me
