dimming of the day chords ( live version , california 2005 )
richard thompson

capo iv

G
D
this old house is falling down around my ears
C G D D Dsus2 D
i’m drowning in the fountain of my tears
G D
when all my will is gone you hold me sway
C G D G C D G
i need you at the dimming of the day

D A
you pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
D A D G C
you know just where i keep my better side

G D
what days have come to keep us far apart
C G D D Dsus2 D
a broken promise or a broken heart
G D
now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
C G D G C D G
i need you at the dimming of the day

break

D A
come the night you’re only what i want
D A D G C
come the night you could be my confident

G D
i see you on the street in company
C G D D Dsus2 D
why don’t you come and ease your mind with me
G D
i’m living for the night we steal away
C G D G C D G
i need you at the dimming of the day
C G D G
i need you at the dimming of the day
