Dimming of the day

1. This old house is falling down around my ears,

             C                 G                D

I’m drowning in a river of my tears.

G                                                   D

When all my will is gone, you hold me sway,

C                      G          - D        G

I need you at the dimming of the day.

D                                                    A

You hold me like the moon pulls on the tide,

              D                                                 A - D - G - C

you know just where I keep my better si…….……...de.

     - - - -    G                                        D

2. When days come to keep us far apart,

          C                      G                   D

a broken promise, or this broken heart.

             G                                                D

Now all the morning birds wheeled away,

         C                      G          - D        G

I need you at the dimming of the day.

D                                                      A

Come the night, you’re the only what I want,

      D                                                           A - D - G - C

come the night, you could be my confida…………….nt.

        G                                              D

3. I see you on the street, in company,

              C                             G                             D

why don’t you come and ease your mind with me ?

           G                                           D

I’m living for the night we steal away,

         C                      G          - D         G - C

I need you at the dimming of the day.

                 G                      D               C    G

Yes, I need you at the dimming of the day.
