With a bad, bad man

Down to the bottom, babe

With a bad, bad man

[Verse]
D# C#m D#
Well, he said this darkness, it was untrue
G#m D#
And first he said this darkness
C#m D#
Darlin', it was untrue
E D# G#m E
And that there was no light to be found in you
[Chorus]

But I know, darlin', that that's not true

And I had a dream so black

Just where you've been
E D#
But I've hung myself heavy here
E D# G#m G#m
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am
[Verse]
D#
I thought that man, babe
C#m D# G#m
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin'
C#m D#
He might have something that I need
[Chorus]
E D#
But he had no anger
G#
For you or for me
E D#
And, babe, I swear

That man never even knew I was here

Some of these friends of mine
C#m D# G#m
How I miss them so
D#
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
C#m D#
How I miss them so
[Chorus]
E D#
But some of these, others beg
E D#
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
G#m
And deathly roads

Take me down to your river
C#m D# G#m

I want to know just how it runs
E D#
But if that man waits on the path
E D# G#m E
Then I know for good that I'm done
D#
And I got a feeling
E D# G#m
That man, he's just begun
