       A5 
And if you don't love me now, you will never love me again.

Verse 2(use the same progression as verse 1): 
Listen to the wind blow 
Down comes the night 
 
Runnin' in the shadows 
Damn your love

Break the silence 
Damn the dark 
Damn the light

Then comes the bass part.  I'll transpose it to guitar just for fun.

D-5--5--7-6-7-5-3-5-7-0---------------- 
 
The end of the song's guitar part is VERY easy, so I'll just transpose  
parts of it to get you started.  You'll be able to figure out the rest 
 
D-------0--------------12-12-10-12-Then there's:15-12-15-12------------ 
B-3-3-1-3-Then there's:------------------------------------------------ 
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Lindsey plays that very last lead part throughout the rest of the song  
while they're singing "The chain will keep us together".  That's about it  
for the song.  The timing isn't perfect, so listen to the album to get it  
right.  Once you master that Travis picking, the song will come  
together fast.  Have fun with this one.  It took me forever to tab it.
