A Gm A
Well, he said this darkness, it was untrue
Dm A
And first he said this darkness
Gm A
Darlin', it was untrue
A# A Dm A#
And that there was no light to be found in you
[Chorus]
A Dm
But I know, darlin', that that's not true

Just where you've been

But I've hung myself heavy here
A# A Dm Dm
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am

I thought that man, babe
Gm A Dm
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin'
Gm A
He might have something that I need
[Chorus]

For you or for me

And, babe, I swear

A
Some of these friends of mine
Gm A Dm
How I miss them so

Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
Gm A
How I miss them so
[Chorus]

But some of these, others beg
A# A
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
Dm
And deathly roads
[Verse]
A
Take me down to your river
Gm A Dm
I want to see how it runs
A
Down to your river, darlin'
Gm A Dm
I want to know just how it runs
A# A
But if that man waits on the path
A# A Dm A#
Then I know for good that I'm done
A
And I got a feeling
A# A Dm
That man, he's just begun
