Ribbon of darkness over me..since my true love

walked out the door.
                    A     E         B       
Tears I never had before..ribbon of darkness over 
E

Clouds are gathering over my head..that kill the 
                 E
day and hide the sun.
     A          E                 A     E

B             E
darkness over me.

Rain is falling on the meadow..where once my love 
          E
and I did lie.
Gbm         B             E       Gbm          B
Now, she is gone from the meadow..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 
   B             E
of darkness over me.

In this cold room lying..don't want to see no one but

How I wish your heart could see, how mine just takes

and breaks all day.

Come on back and take away..ribbon of darkness over me.
