F C G Am F C G C
C F C
Over by the wildwood club

Hot summer night
Dm
We lay in the tall grass
G
Til the mornin' light come shinning
C F C Am
If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam
Dm G
Sometimes I serve my country sometimes I stay at home
C F C
Just don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
C F C Dm
Where memories turn dusty old and grey
G
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
G7 C F C G Am F C G C
Twilight is the loneliest time of day
C F C Am
Never gave a second thought never crossed my mind
Dm G
To what is right and what is not I'm not the judgin' kind
C F C Am
I would steal your darkness and storms from your skies
Dm G
But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside
C F C
Don't send me no distant salutations
C F C Dm
Or silly souvenirs from far away
G
Don't leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time of the day
