Capo 4
Intro: Em Cmaj7
Am7
Northwest is where I'm headed,
C/G Gadd4
Underneath the golden sky
Am7
I'm searching for a wisdom
C/G Gadd4
That every man seeks to find
Am7
I've got wicked thoughts a brewin'
C/G Gadd4
Many evil deeds I've done
Am7
I'm looking for a reason
C/G Gadd4
For a reason not to run
Em
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance (2x)
Am7
I've got no destination
C/G Gadd4
No place to call my own
Am7
I'll explore the constellations
C/G Gadd4
Till I find the course I mean to hone
Am7
But come fever or come famine
C/G Gadd4
Come the biting winter cold
Am7
Just put two coins upon my eyelids
C/G Gadd4
So I can pay the poor man's toll
Em
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance (2x)
Em
I've been so unforgiving
D/F# Em(addC#)
Stranded in old traditions
Em
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance
D/F# Em C/G (2x)
Em
I've always been dark
D/F# Em(addC#)
With light somewhere in the distance
