In the Dark
- -----------
(Al Stewart)

The original recording is in E, so that you have to drop your strings by half
a tone to have the following chords sound like the CD.

Verse (all on the same model)

F                                          Am
They said "God bless the Prince of Wales", let us hope that he prevails
    Dm                           Bb           Gm
The souvenirs provide details of distant monarchy
C                  Am          F?                Dm
Moving through the human tide, with the Princess at his side
F?                  Dm                Gm           C
Tribesmen cheer and gaze wide-eyed at such celebrity


F                                Am
The royals smile from magazines, waving hands from limousines
    Dm                                     Bb    Gm
The crowd holds pictures of the queen, the magic entity
      C          Am               F?             Dm
These images are beamed to me ten thousand miles across the sea
F?             Dm             Gm                   C
Lately I don't seem to be concerned with what they mean


Chorus

       Dm           Am
In the dark, in the dark
      Dm            Bb            F     C
Oh, I never saw the danger or the spark
       Dm           Am
In the dark, in the dark
      Dm             Bb
I was feeling like a stranger
        Gm            C               F
Cause I never saw the changes in your heart
