dark is rising — текст песни (mercury rev)

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


And that`s your lot.
