Gm 
Darkness darkness be my pillow 
        F    C    Csus   Gm 
Take my hand and  let me sleep 
Gm 
In the coolness of your shadow 
       F           C  Csus Gm 
In the silence     of your deep 
         C                 Gm 
Darkness darkness  hide the yearning 
        C                   Gm 
For the things that can not be 
        F         C   Csus  Gm 
Keep my mind from constant turning 
           F      C    Csus Gm 
Toward the things I can not  see 
 
SOLO 
 
Gm 
Darkness darkness long and lonesome 
       F   C   Csus      Gm 
Is the day that bring me here 
Gm 
I have felt the edge of of silence 
       F     C   Csus      Gm 
I have known the depths of fear 
   C                   Gm 
Darkness darkness be my blanket 
      C               Gm 
Cover me with endless night 
     F        C    Csus  Gm 
Take away the pain of    knowing 
         F      C  Csus Gm 
Fill the emptiness of   right now 
 
SOLO 
 
Gm 
Darkness darkness be my pillow

Take my hand and  let me sleep 
Gm 
In the coolness of your shadow 
       F           C  Csus  Gm 
In the silence     of your  deep 
         C                 Gm 
Darkness darkness  hide the yearning 
        C                   Gm 
For the things that can not be
