Verse: 
     D      A       G 
The sun is slowly sinkin' 
     D       A     D    A 
The day is almost gone 
       D        A         G 
Still darkness falls all around us 
     D       A       D 
and we must journey on 


 
     G               D 
The darkest hour is just before dawn 
                G    A 
the narrow way leads home 
      D                G      D 
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet 
                     A           D 
the darkest hour is just before dawn 


Solo: 
D    A    G 
D   --    A 
Am   D    G 
D    A    G 


VERSE 
        D                     G 
Like a shepherd out on the mountain 
 D            A          G 
watching the sheep down below 
       D             G 
He's coming back to claim us 
      D      A       D 
will you be ready to go? 


     G               D 
The darkest hour is just before dawn 
                G    A 
the narrow way leads home 
      D                G      D 
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet 
                     A           D 
the darkest hour is just before dawn 


ENDING 
            Bm       A           G     A    D 
The darkest hour is just before dawn
