Play Intro Part 1 and Part 2 straight one after the other.
Now the lyrics start and we will use only Part 1 (this is why I broke them down.)
(Intro Part 1)
This old house is falling down around my ears
G D A (repeat only ending section of Part 1)
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
(Intro Part 1)
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
G D A D
I need you at the dimming of the day
e|------------2-----------------------|
B|-0--2--3/5-----3--------------------| let's call this
G|---------------2--------------------| "Part 3"
D|------------0-----0---0-------------|
A|----0--2-------------4-2-0----------|
D|-3----------------------------------|
A E
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
A E
You know just where I keep my better side
A D G
uuu uuu uuu
(Intro Part 1)
What days have come to keep us far apart
G D A (repeat only ending section of Part 1)
A broken promise or a broken heart
(Intro Part 1)
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
G D A D (repeat Part 3)
I need you at the dimming of the day
A E
Come the night you're only what I want
A E
Come the night you could be my confidant
A D G
uuu uuu uuu
(Intro Part 1)
I see you on the street in company
G D A (repeat only ending section of Part 1)
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
(Intro Part A)
I'm living for the night we steal away
G D A D (repeat Part 3)
I need you at the dimming of the day
G D A D
I need you at the dimming of the day
