Dark Cloud Cifras

[Verse 1]
G               D
Back when I was eighteen
             G                          C
Life gave me nothing but a sweet, sweet kiss
G              D
You give a man ten more years
        C                   D
You can see what it does to him
G                   D
I took a bus to the Great Salt Lake
          Em                 C
And moved south to a city of sin
            G          C             D   G
There was a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead
 
[Verse 2]
G                  D
I met my baby in a checkout line
        G                         C
We were laughing at the cashier's shoes
G                        D
She asked me if I wasn't going nowhere
        C                          D
I'll go nowhere if it's going with you
G                   D
We got married on a rainy Sunday
      Em                  C
I got nervous and lost my cool
            G              C             D    G
There was a bright, bright cloud hanging over you
 
[Chorus]
Em                 Bm
I hope my lover is pure
C              G
I show my very best
Em                             Bm                      C                      D
There's no good reason why the things I've got are the things I'm supposed to give
            Em      D      C             D    G
There was a bright, bright cloud hanging overhead
 
[Verse 3]
G                        D
We bought a house in the downtown district
      G                  C
I was singing to pay the bills
G                       D
You danced naked on our kitchen table
        C                         D
We were wild, young, and ready to live
G                         D
I swore that you were the only girl
             Em            C
That I could ever be crazy for
           G                    C             D       G
Yes I said love is just another word and I'll use for it
 
[Chorus]
Em                 Bm
I hope my lover is pure
C              G
I show my very best
Em                             Bm                      C                      D
There's no good reason why the things I've got are the things I'm supposed to give
            Em     D    C            D    G
There was a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead

[Verse 4]
G         D
I woke up nine years later
     G                       C
To a woman that I don't even see
G                         D
I buy her presents in the snowy season
           C                D
We'll make love every other week
G                        D
I call my parents on the weekends
               Em                 C
That I've been drinking a bit too hard
              G          C             D     G
Now there's a dark, dark cloud hanging in my heart
 
[Chorus]
Em                 Bm
I hope my lover is pure
C              G
I show my very best
Em                             Bm                      C                      D
There's no good reason why the things I've got are the things I'm supposed to give
           Em     D    C             D    Em
There is a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead
D          Em     D    C            D   G
There is a dark, dark cloud hanging overhead
