The Dark Is Rising


Mercury Rev - "The Dark Is Rising" From the album "All Is Dream" I noticed that there were no tabs for the mighty Rev on this site, so i have decided to rectify this sorry situation. I really don't care if you like this tab or not, so please don't bother to e-mail me about it or rate the tab. Thank you. Intro - C / Gm / Bb / F x2 Verse 1: C G I dreamed of you on my farm F I dreamed of you in my arms C But dreams are always wrong G I never dreamed I'd hurt you F I never dreamed I'd lose you C In my dreams I'm always strong F C But now the creek is rising F C And all my bridges burned (C) G I always dreamed of big crowds F Plumes of smoke and high clouds C But dreams don't last for long Repeat intro chords twice Verse 2 (same chords as first verse) I have my suspicions When the stars are in position All will be revealed But I know that until then Unless the stars surrender All will be concealed And now the snow is falling And all my fences torn I know you need someone And I can hear someone Somewhere in this song Repeat intro chords twice Verse 3 (same chords as first verse except where noted) I dreamed that I was walking And the two of us were talking Of all life's mystery The words that flow between friends Winding streams without end I wanted you to see F C But it can seem surprising F C When you find yourself alone F C And now the dark is rising F C And a brand new moon is born I always dreamed I'd love you I never dreamed I'd lose you In my dreams I'm always strong. Finish on C The intro bit sounds best (to me) if you play the following chords; C at the eighth fret (E shape) Gm at the tenth fret (Am shape) Bb at the sixth fret (E shape) F at the eighth fret (A shape) For the rest of the song use these chord shapes: C - X32010 G - 320003 F - 133211 And that's your lot.
