Ribbon of darkness over me,

Since my true love walked out the door.

Tears I never had before.

Ribbon of darkness over me.
#1.

Clouds a-atherin' 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.
BRIDGE:
Em A7 D
Rain is falling on the meadow,
Em A7 D
Where once my love and I did lie.
Em A7 D
Now she is gone from the meadow,
Em A7 Em7 A7 D
My love goodbye.
#2.
D
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.
#3. (Chorus #2)
Em A7 D
Here in this cold room lyin',
Em A7 D
Don't want to see no one but you.
Em A7 D
Lord I wish I could be dyin',
Em A7 Em7 A7 D
To forget you.
CHORUS:
#4.
D
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.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
