Another One In The Dark
(words & music by Jakob Dylan)
I have grossly misinterpreted the lyrics as you will soon see. If anyone has
CAPO ON THE 2ND FRET (or play each chord a whole step up-I highly recommend
capoing, though):
Another thing is that the Bm riff is just Bm played staccato eight times, if
you know the song, you will know what I am talking about. The reason why it
does not sound like the Bm chord playing over and over is because the
bassline walks up the C# minor scale. (Remember when you play Bm with a capo
on the second fret, you are really playing C#m). Okay:
Intro:
Took em high, took em straight up the hill
You wanted it all, gave em such a pill
Their parades, we stole every thrill
In their games, we made every kill
Took em hard, took em up against the wall
In their loss, you never let them fall
In their flames, sailed up to the moon
In their rain, they dry like firewood
So the bottom, five beers
As the girl might just disappear
Well that will be the death of me
The day she~s just a memory
-- --
riff
Well she turned off the lights and she opened the whites
In my eyes, another one in the dark
Broken all apart
Just another one in the dark
When the road rolled on like a big drum
Went to the top just to bud everyone
Wanted to win, tie yourself with a string, and steal everything
You took em skin on skin, laid em down in the rain
So I swear we~re a pair
Like loneliness and a prayer
No I~m not the be, may still mean me
-- --
riff
Well she turned off the lights and she opened the whites
In my eyes, another one in the dark
Broken from the start
Just another one in the dark
In their nights, rayed out with the loud screen
Or in their sleep, we~re all inside every dream
So if you trying to break me
C~mon, why don~t you shake me
Right out of my dream
The one that you and me, me...
-- --
Woooaahhh... Heeyyyy.....
riff
Well she sang out of tune when she shot down the moon
As I saw my arteries down on dividers
riff
And I was here at the Hoot, between the cup and the loot
As I strut down under the lightening love
riff
As she cut all the strings that I tied to her wings
Leaving me... in the dark
Still just be apart
And she never see me at all
