Guy Clark - The Dark Chords

Capo 2. 

Hammer on both strings for the Em. You will have to experiment 
to get the exact position of the chord changes with respect 
to the lyrics but this is close.

(D A Em) x 4

(D)In the dark you can (A)sometimes hear your own heartbeat(Em)
Or the heart of the one next to you (DAEm)
(D)And the house settles (A)down after holding(Em)itself up all day
Shoulders (D)slump, gives a big sigh(AEm)
You hear no ones footfall in the hall (DAEm)
(DAEm)
(D)That drip in the (A)kitchen sink keeps marking (Em)time
(D)June bug on the window (A)screen can't get (Em)in but keeps on trying
(DAEm)
(D)One way or (A)another we're all in the dark (Em)


(A)Fireflies and sparks and (G)lightning, stars
(A)Campfires, the moon (G)headlights on cars
(A)the Northern lights, the milky way(G)
You can't see that stuff in the day
(DAEm) x 4

(D)The Earth turns it's (A)back on the (Em)sun
and the stars come out and the (D)planets start to (A)run (Em)around
(D)They call that 'day is done'(AEm)
(D)but really it's just getting started (AEm)
(D)Some folks take (A)comfort in that(Em)


(A)How dark is it (G) it's too dark for goblins
(A)How dark is it (G) it's so dark you can smell the moon
(A)How dark is it (G) it's so dark the wind gets lost
(A)How dark is it (G) so dark the sky's on fire
(A)How dark is it (G) so dark you can see Fort Worth from here


(DAEm) x 6 (D)
