Dark as the Black Lyrics

On the record this song is in the key F major but I've seen her play it live
in key G major which I think is easier to play, so that's what I'm gonna
post here. If you want to play along with the record, just play F instead of
G, Bb instead of Cadd9, C instead of D and Dm instead of Em.
Intro: G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D (4 bars)
There's a crack in the ground from Water-loo,
All the way to Arizona
I can see from the fire escape outside
That helped me get to know you
What was it like,
When I was in your life?
Did my touch feel the same?
As your touch it felt so good to me,
It felt so good to me
One world, One love,
means nothing if you're just pretending
One World, One Love,
There's nothing to good intentions
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.
There's a crack in the ground from Tennessee
All the way to Caledonia
I can see by the way the silence rings
and echoes in the corners.
How many times
you wanted to cry,
but you kept it inside
Now the silence echoes deafening,
Its much too loud for me.
One world, One love,
means nothing if you're just pretending
One World, One Love,
There's nothing to good intentions
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.
G G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 Cadd9 | D (4 bars)
There's a crack in the ground from old New York,
all the way to Minnesota
I can see by the way ten thousand lakes
are screaming for more water
Give us some hope
we haven't got enough
to keep ourselves filled up
when you drink us empty, drink us dry,
then ask us why we're dry
One world, One love,
means nothing if you're just pretending
One World, One Love,
There's nothing to good intentions
One world, One love,
means nothing if you're just pretending
To do your part,
There's nothing to good intentions
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the ground
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the dark
as the black, in the cracks in the ground.
