Over by the Wild Wood on a hot Summer nigh[Em7]t[Am7]
We lay in the tall grass[D] 'til the morning light[G]
If I had my way I'd never[Em7] get the urge to roam
[Am7]Sometimes I serve my country, some[D]times I stay at home
CHORUS 1:
Just don't [G]put me in a [C]frame upon the [G]mantle
C ~ Am7 Am
Memories grow dusty, old and grey
Don't [D]leave me alone in the twilight
The twilight is the loneliest time of [G]day
INTERLUDE: C G Am Em C G D G C G
Never gave it a second thought,[Em7] it never crossed my mind[Am7]
What is right and what is not,[D] I'm not the judging kind[G]
But I would steal your darkness and the [Em7]star holes from your skies
We've [Am7]all got certain trials [D]burning up inside
CHORUS 2:
Just don't [G]send me no [C]distant salu[G]tations
C ~ Am7 Am
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't [D]leave me alone in the twilight
The twilight is the loneliest time of [G]day
INSTRUMENTAL: C G Am Em C G D G C G Am Em C G D
CHORUS 1:
Just don't [G]put me in a [C]frame upon the [G]mantle

Memories grow dusty, old and grey
Don't [D]leave me alone in the twilight
The twilight is the loneliest time of [G]day
