Played in unison with female vocals (in Gaelic:)
Tâ an dorcheadas ag teacht anuas,
Tar abhaile liom, a ghrâ,
(Translates: Darkness is falling, come home,
with me, a ghrâ)
Verse 2:
(same chords)
Life's too short for wastin',
For 'ifs' and 'might have beens,'
Life's too short for wonderin',
If you could have lived your dreams,
And it's way too short for lonliness,
And we don't have to be,
Now that we trust each other,
Why don't you stay with me?
Chorus
Bridge x2
Verse 3:
Csus9 G/A
When the world belongs to distant dogs,
Gsus4/C G5
And the air is dark and still,
Csus9 G/A
And drunken conversations,
Gsus4/C G5
Pass beneath the window sill,
Csus9 G/A
And there's someone singin' Elvis songs,
Gsus4/C G5
As you make your way back home,
Csus9 G/A
All your fears and worries,
Gsus4/C G5
Attack when you're alone
G5 Csus9 G/A G5
When you're alo - o - o- one,
G5 Csus9 G/A G5
When you're alo - o - o- one,
G5 Csus9 G/A G5
When you're alo - o - o- one,
Chorus
Bridge x2
Ending:
Csus9 G/A
Why don't we share,
Gsus4/C
The darkness...
