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  

 
                                  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 


Instrumental: D   Bm   G   A   D   Bm   G   A   D 


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___

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
