VERSE 1:
G G F#m B
Come on slowly, won't you rise and come
Em A7 D A C
To the top of this hill, where the cool breeze spills
G G F#m B
Now that it's dusk, someone drives them off the street
Em A7 D A C
Let the pavements cool, come on now
G G F#m B
So come on love, and lay your body down, next to mine
Em A7 D A C
'Cause what we're longing for, has withered in the light
CHORUS:
F#m F#m G G
Come on darkness, Lay your body down on us
Em Em A Asus2
We've been calling you for so long now, we're weary of your name
F#m F#m G G
Come on blackness, let me breathe you in
Em Em A Asus4 A
'Cause with this clattering and din, we are calling you
VERSE 2:
G G F#m B
Brother have you got a smoke, or baby have you got a dime
Em A7 D A C
Seems like we're all, a little down on our luck
G G F#m B
And baby if you're workin' now, out in Bakersfield
Em A7 D A C
At some honky-tonk, they call the Wagon Wheel
CHORUS:
F#m F#m G G
I feel swept, and you feel rolled away
Em Em A7 A7sus2
So come on darkness, I need you today
F#m F#m G G
So come on blackness, let me breathe you in
Em Em A7
'Cause with this clattering and din, I am calling you
FINALE:
G Em
Come on darkness
A7 G
Come on darkness
