Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x2
Shadows  are falling and  I've been here all day
It's  too hot to sleep and time  is running away
Feel  like my soul  has turned  into  steel
I've  still got the scars  that the sun  didn't heal
There's  not even room  enough to be  anywhere
It's  not dark yet,  but it's  getting there
Well  my sense of humanity  is going down the drain
Behind  every beautiful thing, there's  been some kind of pain
She  wrote me a letter  and she wrote  it so kind
She  put down in writin'  what was in  her mind
I  just don't see why  I should  even care
It's  not dark yet,  but it's getting  there
Do  do dom do do dom dom  dom
 Do do do dom dom  dom
Well  I been to London and  I been to gay Paris
I  followed the river and  I got to the sea
I've  been down to the bottom  of a  world full  of lies
I  ain't lookin for nothin'  in anyone's eyes
Sometimes  my burden  is more  than I can bear
It's  not dark yet,  but it's  getting there
I  was born here and I'll die here, against  my will
I  know it looks like I'm movin' but  I'm standin' still
Every  nerve in my body  is so naked  and numb
I  can't even remember what it was  I came here to get  away from
Don't  even hear  the murmur  of a prayer
It's  not dark yet,  but it's getting  there
 Note:
 -this is one of my favourite songs, if not the favourite one
 (Bob Dylan's version).
 -I wanted to give some contribution for this song, but there
  are already 4-5 versions of chords for Bob Dylan's version,
  so I'm doing a Micah P Hinsion interpretation of this song.
 -It's pretty simple, descent, and easy to learn version.
