[G#m] [F#] [G#m]
[B]
[F#] [B]
Over by the wildwood it [G#m] was a hot summer night
[C#m] We lay in the tall grass [F#]
until the morning [F#] light comes [B] shining
If I have my way I never [G#m] get the urge to roam
[C#m] But sometimes I serve my country [F#] and sometimes I [B] stay at home
[E] Just [Bm] don't put [F#] me in a frame upon the [B] mantle
Where memories grow dusty, old and grey
[C#m]
Don't [F#] leave me alone in [B] the [F#] twilight
Twilight [B] is the loneliest time of day
[E] Oh-oh [C#m]-oh-oh [G#m]-oh-oh
Oh -oh [F#]-oh-oh-oh [B]-oh-oh
I never gave it [G#m] a second thought, never crossed my mind
[C#m] What is right and what is not, I'm not the judging [C#] kind
[B] I would steal your darkness and [G#] the storms from [G#m] your skies
[C#m] We've all got certain trials [F#] burning up inside
Just don't send me no distant [B] salutations
Or silly souvenirs from [C#m] far [G#] away
[C#]
[F#] Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of day
[E] [G#m] [C#m]
[G#] Oh, [G#m]
oh, [F#] oh, [F#]
oh, oh, oh
And doubt put me in a frame upon [B] the mantle
Where memories [G#m] grow dusty, old and [C#] gray
[C#m] Don't [F#] leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight [B] is the loneliest time of day
Oh, [C#m] oh, oh, [G#m] oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, [F#] oh, [F#] oh, oh
[B] [N]
