Dimming Of The Day (live version, California 2005)
Richard Thompson
Capo 4, Drop D Tuning
G D
This old house is falling down around my ears
C (1/2) G (1/2) D
I'm drowning in the river of my tears
G D
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
C (1/2) G (1 beat) D (1 beat) / G C G - /
I need you at the dimming of the day
D A7sus2
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
D / A7sus2 - D G / C
You know just where I keep my better side
G D
What days have come to keep us far apart
C (1/2) G (1/2) D
A broken promise or a broken heart
G D
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
C (1/2) G (1 beat) D (1 beat) / G C G D /
I need you at the dimming of the day
/ G - D - / G C G - /
D A7sus2
Come the night you're only what I want
D / A7sus2 - D G / C
Come the night you could be my confident
G D
I see you on the street in company
C (1/2) G (1/2) D
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
G D
I'm living for the night we steal away
C (1/2) G (1 beat) D (1 beat) / G C G C /
I need you at the dimming of the day
G (1/2) D (1/2) G (end on beat 4)
I need you at the dimming of the day
