Myrna Loy Chords & Lyrics - Josh Ritter

[VERSE 1]
Let me [G]stay with you a while and tell old, old [C/G]stories
[G] [D] [G] Gadd11
Of your oft' electric laughter and your charms
How you [G]came out of Montana with a wolf pup at your [C/G]heels
[G] [D] [G] Gadd11
And a snow white rabbit huddled in your arms

[CHORUS]
In the [C/G]darkness
In the [G]darkness
In the [C/G]darkness

[VERSE 2]
Rem[G]ember, hey, those Gold Rush days, how the gold dust in the [C/G]mud
From M[G]ain St. leading [D]all the way to A[G]lder
With [G]sunset turned the color of a lover's throat at [C/G]blush
[G] [D] [G] Gadd11
And with moonrise, blazed some new and silver river

[CHORUS]
In the [C/G]darkness
In the [G]darkness
In the [C/G]darkness

[VERSE 3]
The m[G]inister was bloodless and the preachers were on fi[C/G]re
And Ma[G]hatmas sang their [D]love songs in n[G]asturtiums
But if [G]he, or they, or any of their masters called my n[C/G]ame
I was[G] in your holy t[D]emple and never he[G]ard them

[CHORUS]
In the [C/G]darkness
In the [G]darkness
In the [C/G]darkness

[BREAK]
[G] [C/G]
[G] [D] [G]
[G] [C/G]
[G] [D] [G]

[VERSE 4]
Rem[G]ember, hey, those Gold Rush days, some Last Chance Gulch sa[C/G]loon
Y[G]ou, and I, and a[D]ll the miners w[G]atching
As s[G]hadows danced across a screen as quiet as the [C/G]moon
Without [G]sound, their fur[D]y signifying a[G]ll things

[VERSE 5]
The [G]whole town was alive that night as we floated down the [C/G]street
Throug[G]h fist fights, cowboy [D]poets, parlor w[G]omen
And the[G] light from the projector seemed to glow within your [C/G]soul
Like an [G]opal throated [D]songbird in its p[G]rism

[CHORUS]
In the [C/G]darkness
In the [G]darkness
In the [C/G]darkness

[VERSE 6]
They're[G] tearing down the movies now, not a stone upon a [C/G]stone
All d[G]ust is dust no [D]matter how ce[G]lestial
But [G]I, who tasted hornet juice and honey on the [C/G]rose
What [G]use have I for a[D]ll their cold m[G]emorials?

[VERSE 7]
Still e[G]very now and then sometimes when the night sky gets so[C/G] bright
And no [G]Bethlehem of s[D]tars could match its [G]burning
I G[G]o out into the fields until I can feel you by my [C/G]side
And my m[G]emory is a [D]book of gold thrown [G]open

[BRIDGE]
How you rode a [C/G]white horse
The queen of the [G]harvest kissed your cheek
The boys all took [C/G]one look
And found that they [G]could no longer speak

[CHORUS]
In the [C/G]darkness
In the [G]darkness
In the [C/G]darkness
