Standard (EADGBE)

Take me and love me if you want me

Don’t ever treat me unkind

‘Cause I had that trouble already

And it left me with a dark turn of mind

Now I see the bones in the river

And I feel the wind through the pine

And I hear the shadows a-calling

To a girl with a dark turn of mind

(solo over verse progression)

But oh ain’t the nighttime so lovely to see?

Don’t all the nightbirds sing sweetly?

You’ll never know how happy I’ll be

When the sun’s going down

And leave me if I’m feeling too lonely

Full as the fruit on the vine

You know some girls are bright as the morning

And some have a dark turn of mind

You know some girls are bright as the morning

And some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind
