I'm going to a wedding    I'm going to a wedding   dressed in black

blackest of rain that I'm feeling


Verses 2 & 3 (same chords)

I'm going to the river, I'm going to the river, wash my tears
I'm going to the mountains, I'm going to the mountains, cool my fears
That I'm not going with you . . . no . . .
Skies are no longer a comfort
Leaves turning black with the autumn
The corn is hung down with the heaviest weight that I'm feeling

I'm going to a funeral, I'm going to a funeral, dressed in white
I'm going to a nightclub, I'm going to a nightclub, to sleep with night
And I'm not going with you . . . no . . .
Love is no longer a comfort,
Fantastic times are forgotten
My heart is hung down with the saddest of rain that I'm feeling

Outro Vamp in C blues on the final C (No D C)
