Intro: A
A              D        F#m
Over by the wildwood -  Hot summer night
Bm                         E               E7
We lay in the tall grass  til the mornin' light

A                  D          F#m
If I had my way I'd never  -  get the urge to roam
Bm                               E
A young man serves his country and an old man guards the home

A           D                A
Don't send me no distant salutations
A                     D     Bm
or silly souvenirs from far away
E                                  E7
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
E                                    A
Cause Twilight is the loneliest time a day

D   A  E7 A

A               D              F#m
Never gave a second thought  -  Never crossed my mind
Bm                     E
What's right and what's not  -  I'm not the judgin' kind
A                 D            F#m
I could take the darkness oh  -  Storms in the skies
Bm                                         E7
But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside

A           D                   A
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
A                    D            Bm
'Fore memories turn dusty old and grey
    --> E                                E7
        Don't leave me alone in the twilight
         E                                A
        Twilight is the loneliest time a day <-- (x2)
