Mercury Rev - Dark Is Rising guitar chord

Mercury Rev - "The Dark Is Rising"

From the album "All Is Dream"

Intro - C / Gm / Bb / F x2

Verse 1:

C G

I dreamed of you on my farm

F

I dreamed of you in my arms

C

But dreams are always wrong

G

I never dreamed I'd hurt you

F

I never dreamed I'd lose you

C

In my dreams I'm always strong

F C

But now the creek is rising

F C

And all my bridges burned

(C) G

I always dreamed of big crowds

F

Plumes of smoke and high clouds

C

But dreams don't last for long

Repeat intro chords twice

Verse 2 (same chords as first verse)

I have my suspicions

When the stars are in position

All will be revealed

But I know that until then

Unless the stars surrender

All will be concealed

And now the snow is falling

And all my fences torn

I know you need someone

And I can hear someone

Somewhere in this song

Repeat intro chords twice

Verse 3 (same chords as first verse except where noted)

I dreamed that I was walking

And the two of us were talking

Of all life's mystery

The words that flow between friends

Winding streams without end

I wanted you to see

F C

But it can seem surprising

F C

When you find yourself alone

F C

And now the dark is rising

F C

And a brand new moon is born

I always dreamed I'd love you

I never dreamed I'd lose you

In my dreams I'm always strong.

Finish on C

The intro bit sounds best (to me) if you play the following chords;

C at the eighth fret (E shape)

Gm at the tenth fret (Am shape)

Bb at the sixth fret (E shape)

F at the eighth fret (A shape)

For the rest of the song use these chord shapes:

C - X32010

G - 320003

F - 133211
