Don’t Let Me Down

Inspired by a conversation about alternate guitar tunings.  I’m not sure i made the best use of the tuning, but I think the song came out pretty darn nice.  The guitar tuning is D-G-D-G-B-D, in case you are interested.

Light don’t fail me, light don’t fail me now
Just shine a little more for me somehow
The gloomy shadows grown
And I’m feeling so alone
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down

Not so long ago I was still young
And sweeter songs were dancing from my tongue
But time it snuck away
With my joy’s from yesterday
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down

instrumental

Friend don’t leave me, friend don’t leave me, no
The dark is waiting for me when you go
A black and moonless night
With no hope for sunlight
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down

  1. The tune and playing on this are so pretty. But the lyrics are sad sad.
