F#mOh darkness looming (eeeeeee)
BmOh darkness looming (eeeeeee)
AOh darkness looming (eeeeeee)
EHold still vAibrations
EHold still the MF#mississippi sun
I saw in the miB7ddle of the sky
In the middle of JEuly
(Same chords as last verse for rest of song)
Hold still new sun beam
I'll squint my eyes to see you're light stream
In the passengers seat
With my head against the clouds
I saw a quiet lonesome sunrise
Beat against the car and your knuckles there
On the wheel 
What burning wind
What sleeping rainstorm did you squander
Disappearing days with the drinking man
With the drinking man
Oh tired love
You fell asleep against a brick wall
20 years ago and left me here and now
Oh gnashing teeth 
Oh splintered deep
Oh sparkled breeze
Oh calling sleep
Oh darkness looming
Oh darkness looming
Oh darkness looming 
Oh darkness looming
Oh darkness looming
Oh darkness looming

Hold still vibrations

Hold still the Mississippi sun

(Same chords as last verse for rest of song)

Hold still new sun beam

I'll squint my eyes to see you're light stream

In the passengers seat

With my head against the clouds

I saw a quiet lonesome sunrise

Beat against the car and your knuckles there

On the wheel

What burning wind

What sleeping rainstorm did you squander

Disappearing days with the drinking man

With the drinking man

Oh tired love

You fell asleep against a brick wall

20 years ago and left me here and now

Oh gnashing teeth

Oh splintered deep

Oh sparkled breeze

Oh calling sleep

Oh darkness looming
