Heart of Darkness
Words & Music by Chris DeBurgh
Gm F Eb F
Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
Gm F Eb - F
The light that all men seem to fear,
Eb F Bb Eb
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
Cm
And people kept away,
Ab/C Gm
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
F
When the morning comes,
Eb F Gm
And on and on that light returns again,
F Eb F Gm - F - Eb - F - Gm - F - Eb
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/chris_de_burgh/heart_of_darkness_crd.html ]
I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones,
The place I knew when I was young,
And in my fear I had to carry on,
Where no-one else had gone,
Looking in the heart of darkness from above,
To the man inside,
I took my chance and set off for the light,
And started the journey of my life;
F Gm Eb
And in the darkest hour that light was calling me,
F Gm
Through the doorway to another world,
Eb
And there below me I saw all the days of my life,
Cm D
Till the moment I stood on the shore,
Worlds away, this was my destiny,
To be back here in another time,
And all around me I saw the faces that I knew,
Reaching out, "there is nothing to fear,"
Worlds away,
Come with me;
Gm F Eb
Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
Gm F Eb - F
The light that all men seem to fear;
Eb F Eb F Eb F
Come with me, come with me, come with me...
