Not Dark Yet [C] - Bob Dylan
Originally in E, but better on the ukulele in C, Bb, G or F
[intro] [C]
C F C
Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
C F C
It's too hot to sleep and time is running away
G G7 Em C
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
Am G F C
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
G G7 Em C
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
Am G F C
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
C F C
Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain
C F C
Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain
G G7 Em C
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
Am G F C
She put down in writin' what was in her mind
G G7 Em C
I just don't see why I should even care
Am G F C
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
C F C
Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris
C F C
I followed the river and I got to the sea
G G7 Em C
I've been down on the bottom of a whirlpool of lies
Am G F C
I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
G G7 Em C
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
Am G F C
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
[Instrumental over verse chords]
C F C
I was born here and I'll die here, against my will
C F C
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
G G7 Em C
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
Am G F C
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
G G7 Em C
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
Am G F C
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
