_ _ _ [Eb] It's my great honor to be able to sing this Richard Thompson song with the man who [Db] wrote it. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ This old [Ab] house is falling down around [Eb] my ear. _
_ _ _ [Ab] I'm drowning in a river of [Eb] my tears. _ _
_ _ When [Ab] all my will is gone, you hold [Eb] me sway. _ _
_ _ And [Db] I need you at [Ab] the dimming _ [Eb] of [Ab] the day. _ _ _
_ _ _ You [Eb] pull me like the moon pulls [Bb] on the tide. _
You _ _ [Eb] know just where I keep my [Bb] better _ side.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ What [Ab] days have come to keep us far [Eb] apart? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] A broken promise [Ab] or a broken [Eb] heart?
Now _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] all the bonnie birds have wheeled [Eb] away. _ _ _
_ _ And [Db] I need you at the [Ab] dimming _ [Eb] of the [Ab] day. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Come the night you're only _ [Bb] what I [F] want.
[Bb] _ Come _ [Eb] _ the night you could be my [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] confidante.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] I see you on the street and in company.
[Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ Why [Ab] don't you come and ease your [Eb] mind with me?
I'm _ _ _ [Ab] living _ for the night, but [Fm] still [Eb] I _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Db] need you at the [Ab] dimming _ [Eb] of [Ab] the day.
_ _ [Db] _ [Eb] Yes, [Ab] I need you [Eb] at the _ dimming of the [Ab] day.
