C 				G 
come here darlin lay down by my side
F					     G
the big stars fallin the moon will turn the tide


C F C
the whistle of the wind will lead us on
F C G
here we are, not too far before the dawn

C G
pictures keep on fallin from the walls
F G
the ghosts are still careening through the halls

C F C
the drunken neighbour sings his favorite song
F C G
in the stardust of the nightbefore the dawn

F C G
you never really know just who your friends are
till you find out at last who they are not
you never recognize the things you really want
till you remember all the dreams that you forgot

C G
we've been running for so long against the grain
F G
trying to find a way to turn around again

C F C
the trouble in your heart will soon be gone
F C G
its lonely blue is only true before the dawn

(solo)

come here darlin lay down by my side
the big stars fallin the moon will turn the tide

the whistle of the wind will lead us on
here we are not too far
before the dawn

here we are not too far
before the dawn
