[Verse 1]
G                G7               C        C7
Darlin’ when you told me you were leavin’
  G                     G7*          D7
I thought that you were only foolin’ me
    G            G7            C
But here I am to face old blue tomorrow
       G                   D7             G
With a broken heart that’s filled with misery


[Chorus]
   D             D7             G
It seems that my world is to an end
     A7          A                      D      D7
Just dreamin’ of things that might have been
   G              G7            C
Oh why don’t that old sun shine right
  G                 D7        G
Today’s the darkest day of my life

[Verse 2]
G                  G7            C
Oh how I wish that old saying is true
     G      G7*                 D
It’s always darkest just before dawn
         G             G7            C
Then I’d know soon I’m gonna see the sunshine
  G                    D               G
I just can’t take this darkness on and on


[Outro]
   D7            D              G
It seems that my world is to an end
     A7          A                      D      D7
Just dreamin’ of things that might have been
   G              G7            C
Oh why don’t that old sun shine right
  G                 D7        G
Today’s the darkest day of my life
