Gordon Lightfoot- Ribbon of Darkness/Sundown

Hamilton Place- May 08- Canadian Folk Legend Gordon Lightfoot entertains the crowd on a Hamiton Friday Night.

D) Ribbon of darkness over (A) me
Since my true love walked out the (D) door
Tears I (D7) never had be(G)fore
(D) Ribbon of (A) darkness over (D) me

Clouds a gathering o'er my head
That kill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me

(Em) Rain is (A7) falling on the (D) meadow
(Em) Where once my (A7) love and I did (D) lie
(Em) Now she is (A7) gone from the (D) meadow
(Em7) My (A7) love (Em7) good(A7)bye

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

Here in this cold room lying
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dying
To forget you

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


I can see her lying back in her satin dress
In a (B7sus4) room where you do what you (E) don't confess
Sundown you (A) better take care
If I (D) find you been creeping 'round (E) my back stairs
Sundown you (A) better take care
If I (D) find you been creeping 'round (E) my back stairs

She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs

Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
