EmCmaj7VerseAm7
Northwest is where I'm headed,
C/GGadd4
Underneath the golden sky
Am7
I'm searching for a wisdom
C/GGadd4
That every man seeks to find
Am7
I've got wicked thoughts a brewin'
C/GGadd4
Many evil deeds I've done
Am7
I'm looking for a reason
C/GGadd4
For a reason not to run
ChorusEm
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance 2x
VerseAm7
I've got no destination
C/GGadd4
No place to call my own
Am7
I'll explore the constellations
C/GGadd4
Till I find the course I mean to hone
Am7
But come fever or come famine
C/GGadd4
Come the biting winter cold
Am7
Just put two coins upon my eyelids
C/GGadd4
So I can pay the boatman's toll
ChorusEm
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance 2x
BridgeEm
I've been so unforgiving
D/F# Em(addC#)
Stranded in old traditions
ChorusEm
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance
D/F#EmC/G 2x
Em
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance
