Capo 5
C
It's the tenth of January
FGAm
And I still ain't had no sleep
CF
She comes waltzing in the nighttime
G
Made of wings
C
She is dressed up like a bandit
FGAm
With a hundred sparkling rings
CFG
Looking for my company to keep
FG
Coming closer to me
CF
She doesn't say a word
FG
In the shadow of the carved rock tower
C
Where the sounds of the night
FGAm
Were the only things we heard
FGC
In my darkest hour
C
She don't want to hear no secrets
FGAm
She would guarantee me that
CF
She knows there ain't no words
G
That can describe her
C
With her white silk scarves
FGAm
And her black Spanish hat
CFG
She knows there ain't no way I can deny her
FG
Yes her blue velvet perfume
CF
Filling up the night
FG
The guards are all asleep that watch the tower
C
The moonlight held her breast
FGAm
As she easily undressed
FGC
In my darkest hour
C
Her father's in his chambers
FGAm
with his friends all gathered 'round
CF
They are plotting their enemy's
G
demise
C
With their last detail done
FGAm
They await the coming sun
CFG
While I am staring in my lover's eyes
FG
Her brothers and her sisters
CF
Are all through for tonight
FG
Pretending that they've just come into power
C
But she far most of all
FGAm
knows that they can only fall
FGC
In my darkest hour
C
Hungry wings, their melodies
FGAm
While my love awakens me
CF
In the midst of the sunburst
G
first light
C
Her hands are holding up the skies
FGAm
As I hid my opened eyes
CF
Every move just for herself
G
And that's so right
FG
Soon I went along my way
CF
With no words that could explain
FG
As she began descending to the tower
C
Her safety now concerns me
FGAm
Her circumstance to blame
FGC
In my darkest hour
