Over by the wildwood
Dm
Hot summer night
Gm
We lay in the tall grass
C
Til the mornin light

If I had my way Id never
Get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country
And an old man guards the home

Never gave a second thought
Never crossed my mind
Whats right and whats not
Im not the judgin kind
I could take the darkness oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
Burnin up inside

Dont send me no distant salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Dont leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time a day

F bb f
Dont put me in a frame upon the mantel
F bb c gm
fore memories turn dusty old and grey
C c7
Dont leave me alone in the twilight
Bb-c f
Twilight is the loneliest time a day
