    (capo at 5th fret; C = F)

     

    C                   Am7                D7sus2/F#

    Take me and love me if you want me

    F                Fm             E7

    Don’t ever treat me unkind

    C                         C7/Bb    F      Fm

    ‘Cause I had that trouble already

    C                              G7             C

    And it left me with a dark turn of mind

     

    Now I see the bones in the river

    And I feel the wind through the pine

    And I hear the shadows a-calling

    To a girl with a dark turn of mind

     

    (solo over verse progression)

     

    F                       Fm (Fm6)     Am        Am/G

    But oh ain’t the nighttime so lovely to see?

    F                   Fm (Fm6) Am7 C

    Don’t all the nightbirds sing sweetly?

    F                  Fm          C

    You’ll never know how happy I’ll be

    D7sus2/F#                  G7

    When the sun’s going down

     

    And leave me if I’m feeling too lonely

    Full as the fruit on the vine

    You know some girls are bright as the morning

    And some have a dark turn of mind

     

    You know some girls are bright as the morning

    And some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind

    Surely it starts on an Am7 and then goes to C?
