Dark as the Black Chords & Lyrics by Serena Ryder
Dark as the Black
guitar chords lyrics
On the record this song is in the key F major but I've seen her play it live
in key G major which I think is easier to play, so that's what I'm gonna
post here. If you want to play along with the record, just play F instead of
G, Bb instead of Cadd9, C instead of D and Dm instead of Em.
Intro: G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D (4 bars)
G Cadd9 G
There's a crack in the ground from Water-loo,
Cadd9 D
All the way to Arizona
G Cadd9 G
I can see from the fire escape outside
Cadd9 D Em
That helped me get to know you
Cadd9
What was it like,
D G
When I was in your life?
D G
Did my touch feel the same?
D
As your touch it felt so good to me,
Em
It felt so good to me
D G
One world, One love,
Cadd9 Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
D G
One World, One Love,
Cadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Em D Em
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.
G Cadd9 G
There's a crack in the ground from Tennessee
Cadd9 D
All the way to Caledonia
G Cadd9 G
I can see by the way the silence rings
Cadd9 D Em
and echoes in the corners.
Cadd9
How many times
D G
you wanted to cry,
D G
but you kept it inside
D
Now the silence echoes deafening,
Em
Its much too loud for me.
D G
One world, One love,
Cadd9 Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
D G
One World, One Love,
Cadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Em D Em
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.
G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D D |
G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D (4 bars)
G Cadd9 G
There's a crack in the ground from old New York,
Cadd9 D
all the way to Minnesota
G Cadd9 G
I can see by the way ten thousand lakes
Cadd9 D Em
are screaming for more water
Cadd9
Give us some hope
D G
we haven't got enough
D G
to keep ourselves filled up
D
when you drink us empty, drink us dry,
Em
then ask us why we're dry
D G
One world, One love,
Cadd9 Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
D G
One World, One Love,
Cadd9 Em
There's nothing to good intentions
D G
One world, One love,
Cadd9 Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
D G
To do your part,
Cadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Em D Em
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the ground
D Em
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the dark
D Em
as the black, in the cracks in the ground.
