A D F#m
Over by the wildwood - Hot summer night
Bm E E7
We lay in the tall grass till the mornin' light
[Verse 2]
A D F#m
If I had my way I'd never - get the urge to roam
Bm E
A young man serves his country and an old man guards the home
[Chorus]
A D A
Don't send me no distant salutations
A D Bm
or silly souvenirs from far away
E E7
Don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
[Interlude]
D A E7 A
[Verse 3]
A D F#m
I never gave a second thought - Never crossed my mind
Bm E
What's right and what's not - I'm not the judgin' kind
A D F#m
I could take the darkness oh - Storms in the skies
Bm E7
But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside
[Chorus]
A D A
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
A D Bm
Fore memories turn dusty old and grey
E E7
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
E A
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
[Interlude]

[Outro]

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
