Tuning: E A D G B E

To: cowpie@olga.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Status: O The Darkest Hour Author: Traditional Performer: Dwight Yoakam CD: "South of Heaven, West of Hell" soundtrack (Delta Deuce Films/Goldmount Pictures/Trimark Picture; Reprise Records) Submitted by: jdkennedy77@aol.com Notes: This is a pretty easy little song, but you really need to listen to the CD to get that Dwight feel for bass runs and vocalization. Otherwise, nothing fancy to worry about.

^GThe darkest hour is ^Cjust before ^Gdawn. The narrow way leads ^Dhome. Lay ^Gdown your soul at ^CJesus’ ^Gfeet. The darkest hour is j^Dust before d^Gawn.

^GThe saddest soul is ^Cthinking, Of a ^Gday that’s almost ^Dgone. Still ^Gdarkness falls a^Cround us, And ^Gwe must ^Djourney ^Gon.

[Chorus] x3

^GLike a shepherd out on the ^Cmountain, A-^Gwatching his sheep down be^Dlow, He’s ^Gcoming back to ^Cclaim us. Will ^Gyou be ^Dready to ^Ggo?
