C#m  D     A
  I hung around 
C#m       D      A
  On the planet Mabel
Bm                 E
 She tried to stand
               C#m  E
But she was not able
C#m             D        A
  She tried to find the truth
C#m             D        A
  She tried to colonize space
Bm                E
  She only had a few
             C#m   E
But it was a good race

D                B          A
Old Black Dawning is coming on
D                B          A
Old Black Dawning is coming on
D              E
Old Black Dawning 
C#m            E
Old Black Dawning 

[SOLO] 
C#m  D  A  (6 times)           
Bm  E  C#m  E

(same chords as before)
C#m         D     A
 I'm always happy to
C#m         D     A
 Go down to old Tucson
Bm                  E
 After you had your fun
                  C#m  E
 It's time to move on

I've got a favorite story
About the Tower of Babel
Some say it's true
And some say it's a fable

Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning 
Old Black Dawning
