The Darkest Hour - Traditional (Yoakam)

G                   C           G
The darkest hour is just before dawn.
                     D
The narrow way leads home.
    G                 C      G
Lay down your soul at Jesus feet.
                     D           G
The darkest hour is just before dawn.

G                   C       
The saddest soul is thinking,
     G                 D
Of a day thats almost gone.
      G               C         
Still darkness falls around us,
    G       D       G
And we must journey on.

CHORUS

G                          C
Like a shepherd out on the mountain,
  G                         D
A-watching his sheep down below,
     G              C
Hes coming back to claim us.
     G      D        G
Will you be ready to go?
