G             D                  C G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun

[Verse 1]
G                             C
It was not so long ago, maybe just a year or so
           G                               D
When I was lonely and went looking for someone
         G                            C
Way down south in New Orleans just a-lookin' for a dream
           G                D                   C  G
And that's when I found him that's where it all begun

[Chorus]
       C                            G
He was there on that night said for you I know I'm right
        C        A7               D7
I'll be with you until my race is run
          G                     C
He walked into my life with his cold evil eyes
             G             D                   C  G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun

[Verse 2]
         G                           C
Well, my memory cannot speak and, oh Lord, I'm feeling weak
      G                               D
But I blame it on the fact that I was young
         G                                      C
Though I know it may sound strange, there is no way I can change
G                                       D    G
What my fate has laid out for me now is done

[Chorus]
       C                            G
He was there on that night said for you I know I'm right
        C        A7               D7
I'll be with you until my race is run
          G                     C
He walked into my life with his cold evil eyes
             G             D                   C  G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun

[Outro]
               G             D                 C Bb G
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun
