Capo 5C It's the tenth of JanuaryF G AmAnd I still ain't had no sleepC FShe comes waltzing in the nighttimeGMade of wingsC She is dressed up like a banditF G AmWith a hundred sparkling ringsC F GLooking for my company to keepF GComing closer to meC FShe doesn't say a wordF GIn the shadow of the carved rock towerC Where the sounds of the nightF G AmWere the only things we heardF G CIn my darkest hourC She don't want to hear no secretsF G AmShe would guarantee me thatC FShe knows there ain't no wordsGThat can describe herCWith her white silk scarvesF G AmAnd her black Spanish hatC F GShe knows there ain't no way I can deny herF GYes her blue velvet perfumeC FFilling up the nightF GThe guards are all asleep that watch the towerCThe moonlight held her breastF G AmAs she easily undressedF G CIn my darkest hourC Her father's in his chambersF G Amwith his friends all gathered 'roundC FThey are plotting their enemy'sGdemiseCWith their last detail doneF G AmThey await the coming sunC F GWhile I am staring in my lover's eyesF GHer brothers and her sistersC FAre all through for tonightF GPretending that they've just come into powerCBut she far most of allF G Amknows that they can only fallF G CIn my darkest hourC Hungry wings, their melodiesF G AmWhile my love awakens meC FIn the midst of the sunburstGfirst lightCHer hands are holding up the skiesF G AmAs I hid my opened eyesC F Every move just for herselfGAnd that's so rightF GSoon I went along my wayC FWith no words that could explainF GAs she began descending to the towerCHer safety now concerns meF G AmHer circumstance to blameF G CIn my darkest hour
