[Verse]
B Am B
Well, he said this darkness, it was untrue
Em B
And first he said this darkness
Am B
Darlin', it was untrue
C B Em C
And that there was no light to be found in you
[Chorus]
B Em
But I know, darlin', that that's not true
[Verse]

And I had a dream so black
Am B Em
That I could not tell

That I could not tell

[Verse]
B
And I don't know, babe
Am B Em
Just where you've been
B
I don't know, darlin'
Am B
Just where you've been
C B
But I've hung myself heavy here
C B Em Em
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am
[Verse]
B
I thought that man, babe
Am B Em
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin'
Am B
He might have something that I need
[Chorus]
C B
But he had no anger
E
For you or for me
C B
And, babe, I swear
Em
That man never even knew I was here

B
Some of these friends of mine
Am B Em
How I miss them so
B
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
Am B
How I miss them so
[Chorus]
C B
But some of these, others beg
C B
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
Em
And deathly roads
[Verse]
B
Take me down to your river
Am B Em
I want to see how it runs
B
Down to your river, darlin'
Am B Em
I want to know just how it runs
C B
But if that man waits on the path
C B Em C
Then I know for good that I'm done
B
And I got a feeling
C B Em
That man, he's just begun
