A#            D#    Gm
Over by the wildwood
Hot summer night
Cm
We lay in the tall grass
F                 F7
til the mornin' light

If I had my way I'd never
Get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country
And an old man guards the home

Chorus:
A#                D#          A#
Don't send me no distant salutations
    A#         D#            Cm
or silly souvenirs from far away
        F                      F7
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
        F                              A#
Cause Twilight is the loneliest time a day

Never gave a second thought
Never crossed my mind
What's right and what's not
I'm not the judgin' kind

I could take the darkness oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
Burnin' up inside

Chorus
