Capo on 3rd fret, chords relative to capo

Am Darkness darkness, be my pillow

Take my G head, and let me Am sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the G silence of your Am deep

Darkness D darkness hide my Am yearning

For the D things that cannot Am be

Free my G mind from constant Am turning

Toward the D things Csus I can not Am see now

D Things Csus I cannot Am see

Am Darkness darkness, long and lonesome

Is the G day, brings me Am here

I have passed the edge of sadness

Now I G hide the depths of Am fear

Darkness D darkness be my Am blanket

Cover D me with endless Am night

Take G away take away the pain of Am knowing

Fill the D empti-(Csus)-ness Am inside

D Empti-(Csus)-ness Am inside
