Darkness 11 11 Chords & Tabs
I think these are the lyrics just gone
and played with the song a few times
and they match fine, the intro and outro
is repeated about that many times....
Intro: E C D E [x2]
--------------------------------------------
E C D E
Day dawns dark, it now numbers infinity.
E C
Life crawls from the past, watching in wonder
D E
I trace its patterns in me.
A G
Tomorrow's tomorrow is birth again.
G7 A#
Boats burn the bridge in the fens;
A G G7
the time of the past returns to my life
E F G A E
and uses it.

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/van_der_graff_generator/darkness_11_11_crd.html ]
E C D E
Don't blame me for the letters that may form in the sand;
E C
don't look in my eyes, you may see all the numbers
D E
that stretch in my sky and colour my hand.
A G
Don't say that I'm wrong in imagining
G7 A#
that the voice of my life cannot sing.
A G G7
Fate enters and talks in old words:
E F G A E
they amuse it.
----------------------------------------------
Solo: E F G A E [x5]
----------------------------------------------
E C
Hands shine darkly and white;
D E
only in dark do they appear.
E C
Bless the baby born today,
D E
flying in pitch, flying on fear.
A G
They shine in my eyes and touch my face
G7 A#
where I have seen them placed before;
A G G7
don't blame me, please, for the fate that falls:
E F G A E
I did not choose it.
E F
I did not, no, no, I did not,
G A E
I truly did not choose it.
------------------------------------
Outro: E F G A E [x6]
