The Dying Of The Day

	  		This is my rendition of a classic British folk song from the mid 19th century. Though it is loosely based  
on the version by Anna Shannon. transpose as needed. (+2 for Anna Shannon's key) 
Chords separated by a dash are half the length of the others  (e.g: F - G) 


F    G    F    Asus2 
Em    F - G    Asus2    Asus2 

         F            G          F                 Asus2 
When the night closes in and the wind it howls too long 
        F      G         Em             Asus2 
And the curlew cries his long forgotten song 
      F           G        F                Asus2 
It is then I will run over heather moss and stone 
      Em               F  -  G      Asus2    Asus2 
To be with you, at the dying of the day 

F - G    Asus2    Asus2 

         F         G         F          Asus2 
When the world has tried, my spirit, to break 
      F           G            Em       Asus2 
And tomorrow is a fast flowing river to row  
      F         G            F               Asus2 
It is then I am drawn to the light from your window 
     Em                F  -  G      Asus2    Asus2 
That guides me, at the dying of the day 

F - G    Asus2 
F    G    F    Asus2 
F    G    Em    Asus2 
F    G    F    Asus2 
Em    F - G    Asus2    Asus2 
F - G    Asus2    Asus2 

         F              G           F           Asus2 
When the moon hangs her head in the pale winter sky 
        F             G           Em             Asus2 
And the trees bow and bend, weary dancers to the wind 
       F         G              F           Asus2 
Like a lost bird calling I will run to your side 
      Em              F  -  G      Asus2     
To be with you at the dying of the day 

F - G    Asus2 
F - G    Asus2 
F - G    Asus2 

        Em              F  -  G      Asus2  
Iâ??ll be with you at the dying of the day
