The Dark Is Rising Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C / Gm / A♯ / F x2

Verse 1

C I dreamed of you on Gmy farm

I dreamed of you in Fmy arms

But dreams are always Cwrong

I never dreamed I'd Ghurt you

I never dreamed I'd lFose you

In my dreams I'm always strCong

F But now the creek is rCising

F And all my bridges bCurned

IC always dreamed of bGig crowds

Plumes of smoke and hFigh clouds

But dreams don't last for Clong

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 But it can seem surprCising

F When you find yourself alCone

F And now the dark is rCising

F And a brand new moon is bCorn

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:

And that's your lot.
