Chords & lyrics
Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.
This old house is falling down around my ears C G D I'm drowning in a river of my tears G D When all my will is gone, you hold me sway C G D G I need you at the dimming of the day. D A You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide D A D G C You know just where I keep my better side G D What days have come to keep us far apart? C G D A broken promise or a broken heart G D Now all the morning birds have wheeled away C G D G I need you at the dimming of the day CHORUS 2: D A Come the night you're only what I want D A D G C Come the night you could be my confidant----- G D I see you on the street and in company C G D Why don't you come and ease your mind with me G D I'm living for the night we steal away C G D G I need you at the dimming of the day C G D G I need you at the dimming of the day NOTE: This is actually orignially a Richard Thompson song, but the Bonnie Raitt version has changed the key and reordered some of the words.
