Bonnie Raitt - Dimming of the Day guitar chord

#

From: Harlan L Thompson

DIMMING OF THE DAY- Bonnie Raitt

G D

This old house is falling down around my ears

C G D

I'm drowning in a river of my tears

G D

When all my will is gone, you hold me sway

C G D G

I need you at the dimming of the day.

CHORUS:

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

A broken promise or a broken heart

G D

Now all the morning birds have wheeled away

C G D G

I need you at the dimming of the day

CHORUS 2:

D A

Come the night you're only what I want

D A D G C

Come the night you could be my confidant-----

G D

I see you on the street and in company

C G 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

I need you at the dimming of the day

C G D G

I need you at the dimming of the day

NOTE: This is actually orignially a Richard Thompson song,

but the Bonnie Raitt version has changed the key and

reordered some of the words.
