[Verse 1]
                                            Am
Engine's turning, but there ain't no spark 
                                        F
Owls a-hooting, but the dog won't bark 

No more greetings from the meadowlark 
G                          C
Deep in the darkest night 


[Verse 2]
                                             Am
I tried to warn you, but you'd gone too far 
                                          F
The cut was serious, but it left no scar 

Now you're waving from a distant star 
G                            F
Deep in the darkest night 


[Chorus]
                                  C
You climbed your ladder while the sun shone bright 
E7                   Am                 C
Now you're a memory, never out of sight 

A shining light 
F                   G
Deep in the darkest night

[Verse 3]
                                              Bm
You were youngest, but you stepped out first 
                                          G
You were gifted, but the gift was cursed 

Your gave your good heart 'til your good heart burst 
A                          D
Deep in the darkest night 


[Verse 4]
                                             Bm
You spoke your word and your word was trust
 
But a will of iron can so easily rust 
G
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 
A                         G
Deep in the darkest night___

Bm                           A              G
I know you're watching and I wish you well
                          F#              G
When next I see you, only time will tell
                                  D
When you see me coming, give that rebel yell
G                   A     Bm  A D G  F#  G  D  G  A
Deep in the darkest night
