Dark As The Black Chords

   
On the record this song is in the key F major but I've seen her play it live
in key G major which I think is easier to play, so that's what I'm gonna 
post here. If you want to play along with the record, just play F instead of
G, Bb instead of Cadd9, C instead of D and Dm instead of Em.

Intro: G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D (4 bars)

          G                        Cadd9 G
There's a crack in the ground from Water-loo,
        Cadd9     D
All the way to Arizona
      G                   Cadd9       G
I can see from the fire escape outside
     Cadd9            D             Em
That helped me get to know you

                 Cadd9
What was it like,
     D                   G
When I was in your life?
    D                      G
Did my touch feel the same?
             D
As your touch it felt so good to me,
                          Em
It felt so good to me

          D          G
One world, One love,
                        Cadd9           Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
          D          G
One World, One Love,
                   Cadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Em               D                            Em
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.

          G                        Cadd9 G
There's a crack in the ground from Tennessee
        Cadd9      D
All the way to Caledonia
      G                  Cadd9        G
I can see by the way the silence rings
    Cadd9         D        Em
and echoes in the corners.

              Cadd9
How many times 
D                 G
you wanted to cry,
    D                  G
but you kept it inside
          D                    
Now the silence echoes deafening,
                           Em
Its much too loud for me.

          D          G
One world, One love,
                        Cadd9           Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
          D          G
One World, One Love,
                   Cadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Em               D                            Em
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.

G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D D |
G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D (4 bars)

          G                        Cadd9   G
There's a crack in the ground from old New York,
        Cadd9       D
all the way to Minnesota
      G                  Cadd9          G
I can see by the way ten thousand lakes
    Cadd9              D      Em
are screaming for more water

                 Cadd9
Give us some hope
   D                 G
we haven't got enough
   D                        G
to keep ourselves filled up
              D
when you drink us empty, drink us dry,
                            Em
then ask us why we're dry


          D          G
One world, One love,
                        Cadd9           Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
          D          G
One World, One Love,
                   Cadd9           Em
There's nothing to good intentions
          D          G
One world, One love,
                        Cadd9           Em
means nothing if you're just pretending
     D          G 
To do your part,
                   Cadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Em                D                            Em
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the ground
                 D                          Em
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the dark
            D                             Em
as the black, in the cracks in the ground.
