     RIBBON OF DARKNESS    Marty Robbins

A                       E
Ribbon of darkness over me
E                                 A                                
Since my true love walked out the door
                   D
Tears I never had before
A             E         A 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
A                          E
Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head
                                A
That chill the day and hide the sun
                                  D
That shroud the night when day is done
A              E        A    
Ribbon of darkness over me 
Bm      E              A
Rain is falling in the meadow
Bm            E               A
Where once my love and I did lie
Bm          E               A       
Now she is gone but not for gotten
Bm         E
My love goodbye 
A                       E
Ribbon of darkness over me
                                   A
Where once the world was young as spring
                         D
Flowers  bloom and birds sing
A         E             A 
Ribbon of darkness over me 

SOLO

Bm      E          A
In this cold room lyin'
Bm            E               A
Don't want to see no one but you
Bm             E       A
Lord I wish I could be dyin'
Bm        E
To forget you 
A                       E
Ribbon of darkness over me
E                                 A                                
Since my true love walked out the door
                   D
Tears I never had before
A             E         A 
Ribbon of darkness over me 
A              E        A
Ribbon of darkness over me
