Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It's the tenth of January
And I [G]still ain't [A]had no [Bm]sleep
[A]She comes [D]waItzing in the nig[G]httime
Made of [Asus4]wing s
[A]She is dre[D]ssed up like a bandit
With a [G]hundred [A]sparkling [Bm]rings[A]
[D]Looking for my [G]company [Asus4]to keep[A]
[G]Coming closer [A]to me
She [D]doesn't [G]say a word
In the shadow of the [Em]carved
[A]rock tower
Where the [D]sounds of the night
Were the [G]only [A]things we [Bm]heard[A]
[G]In my [A]darkest [D]hour[G][D]

[Verse 2]
She don't want to hear no secrets She [G]would
guarantee [A]me [Bm]that
[A]She [D]knows there ain't no [G]words
That can de[A]scribe her
With her [D]white silk scarves
And her [G]black Spanish [A]hat[Bm]
[A]She [D]knows there ain't no
[G]way I can deny [A]her
Yes her [G]blue velvet [A]perfume
[D]Filling up the [G]night
The guards [Em]are all asleep
That [A]watch the tower[D]
[A]The moo[D]n light held her breast
As she [G]easily [A]un [Bm]dressed[A]
[G]In my [A]darkest [D]hour
[G]Her[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]fat[D]her's in his
chambers with his
[G]Friends all [A]gathered 'round[Bm]
[A]They are [D]plotting their [G]enemy's de[Asus4]mise
[A]With their las[D]t detail done
They [G]await the com[A]ing sun[Bm]
[A]While [D]I am staring [G]in my lover's [A]eyes
Her [G]brothers and her [A]sisters
Are all [D]through for to[G]night
Pretending that they've [Em]just
Come [D]in to [A]power
But [D]she far most of all, knows that [G]they
Can [A]only [Bm]fall[A]
[G]In my dar[A]kest hou[D]r

[Verse 4]
[G]
[D]Hungry wings; their melodies
While my [G]love [A]awakens me[Bm]
[A]In the [D]midst of the sun[G]burst
first [A]light[Asus4]
[A]Her hands are hol[D]ding up the skies
As I [G]hid my [A]opened eyes[Bm]
[A]Every [D]move just for her[G]self
And that's so [A]right
Soon I [G]went along my [A]way
With no [D]words that could ex
[G]plain
As she began des[Em]cending
to the [Asus4]tower[A]
Her [D]safety now concerns me
Her [G]circumstance [A]to [Bm]blame[A]
[G]In my [A]darkest [D]hour[G]
