Lonesome Dark Eyed Beauty

C   Em   Am   C G


[Verse 1]
     C                  C           Em         Em
To a lonesome dark-eyed beauty on a far-off avenue,
  Am                Am                  C              G
I woke from a dream late last night and wanted to tell you,
C                   C                Em               Em
When you’re feeling lonely, when the walls around you break,
         Am              Am                 C                G    G
When you need someone to help you, heal the ache within your ache.


[Chorus]
F    F                C       F     F                  G
 Oh, let me feel your thunder.  Oh, let your raindrops fall
     F                 F                Am
It’s not a cloud, this feeling that I’m under,
Dm7             Dm7            G    G n.c.
Maybe we’ll see rainbows after all.


[Verse 2]
         C             C                Em            Em
Will you come to me in rhythm, will you come to me in rhyme?
         Am           Am                  C               G
Will you take me on a journey through the netherworlds of time?
         C                 C               Em                Em
Will you let me climb your mountain, can I swim beneath your sea?
         Am           Am               C         G
Will you let me enter deep within your own infinity?
         C                C              Em               Em
Will you bring me to your altar when the evening sun goes down,
          Am             Am               C                  G     G
Where the poets weep and angels wait underneath your wedding gown?


[Chorus]
F    F                C       F     F                  G
 Oh, let me feel your thunder.  Oh, let your raindrops fall
     F                 F                Am
It’s not a cloud, this feeling that I’m under,
Dm7             Dm7            G    G n.c.
Maybe we’ll see rainbows after all.


[Verse 3]
         C                  C                  Em             Em
Will you touch me with your midnight, will you speak to me in tongues?
         Am              Am               C                  G
Will you take me to your garden, when the time for moonlight comes?
         C          C                  Em                Em
Will you offer me resistance, will you laugh and turn me in?
         Am           Am                C               G
When the echoes of my fingers cross the borders of your skin?
         C              C            Em              Em
Will you hold me in the ether when I kiss your sacredness?
         Am                        Am          C               G      G
Will you still believe me when I untie all the ribbons on your dress?


[Chorus]
F    F                C       F     F                  G
 Oh, let me feel your thunder.  Oh, let your raindrops fall
     F                 F                Am
It’s not a cloud, this feeling that I’m under,
Dm7             Dm7            G    G n.c.
Maybe we’ll see rainbows after all.

[Verse 4]
          C             C                Em           Em
You don’t have to be specific; you don’t have to be immense,
          Am               Am            C     G
You don’t have to mount or circumvent an NFL defense.
         C                  C           Em          Em
Will you stop and turn your back on the offerings I give?
         Am                 Am             C                G
Will you smile and turn and show me secret places where you live?
         C            C                Em           Em
Will you lead me on a voyage, will you take me on a trip?
            Am                Am                    C                  G
Through the backroads and the highlands ‘round the landscapes of your lips?
         C               C              Em           Em
Will the palace doors be open, will you offer me the key?
         Am               Am               C               G   G
Will you leave it just outside the moonlit garden gate for me?


[Chorus]
F    F                C       F     F                  G
 Oh, let me feel your thunder.  Oh, let your raindrops fall
     F                 F                Am
It’s not a cloud, this feeling that I’m under,
Dm7             Dm7            G    G n.c.
Maybe we’ll see rainbows after all.
