 The Darkest Hour
 Author:  Traditional
 Performer:  Dwight Yoakam
 CD:  "South of Heaven, West of Hell" soundtrack (Delta Deuce Films/Goldmount 
 Pictures/Trimark     Picture;  Reprise Records)
 Submitted by:  jdkennedy77@aol.com
 Notes:  This is a pretty easy little song, but you really need to listen to 
 the CD to get that Dwight feel for bass runs and vocalization.  Otherwise, 
 nothing fancy to worry about.  
 
 The Darkest Hour – Traditional (Yoakam)
 
 G                   C           G
 The darkest hour is just before dawn.
                      D
 The narrow way leads home.
     G                 C      G
 Lay down your soul at Jesus’ feet.
 >                    D           G
 The darkest hour is just before dawn.
 
 G                   C       
 The saddest soul is thinking,
      G                 D
 Of a day that’s almost gone.
       G               C         
 Still darkness falls around us,
     G       D       G
 And we must journey on.
 
 CHORUS
 
 G                          C
 Like a shepherd out on the mountain,
   G                         D
 A-watching his sheep down below,
      G              C
 He’s coming back to claim us.
      G      D        G
 Will you be ready to go?
