Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
I went (D major) down to the place
(G major) where (D major) I knew she lay waiting
And the marble (G major) and the (A major) snow
I said, (D major) Mother, I'm frightened
The thunder and the lightning
I'll never come through this alone (A major)
She said, (G major) I will be with you
(F major) My (G major) shawl wrapped around you
(C major) My (G major) hand on your head (F major) when you (G major) go
And the (D major) night came on, it was (A minor) very cold
I wanted (F major) tonight to go on (C major) and on
But she said, (G major) go back, go back to the (D major) world
We were fighting in Egypt
when (G major) they (D major) signed this agreement
that nobody else had to die. (A major)
There was this (D major) terrible sound
and my father went down
with (G major) a (D major) terrible wound (G major) in his (A major) side
He said, (G major) try to go on,
(C major) take my (G major) books, take my gun,
(F major) remem (G major) ber my son, (C major) how they (G major) lie
And the (D major) night comes on, it is (A minor) very calm
I like (F major) to pretend that my father (C major) was wrong
But you don't (G major) want to lie, (Gsus4)
(G major) not to the (D major) young (G major) (D major)
We were locked in this kitchen,
(G major) and I (D major) took to religion
I wondered how long she would stay
(A major) I (D major) needed so much to
have nothing to touch
I've always been greedy (G major) that way
(A major) But my son (G major) and my daughter (D major)
climbed (G major) out of the water
(C major) Crying, (G major) Papa, you promised (D major) to play
(G major) And they lead (D major) me away
to the (A minor) great surprise
It's (F major) Papa, don't peek,
Papa, (C major) cover your eyes
And they hide, (G major) they (Gsus4) (G major) hide in
the (D major) world (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major)
Now (A major) I look (D major) for her always,
(G major) I'm (D major) lost in this calling
I'm tied to the thread
(G major) s of some pray (A major) er
Saying, (D major) where will she summon me?
(G major) When (D major) will she come to me?
What must I do to (G major) prepare? (A major)
When she bend (G major) s to my lung
(C major) Like a (G major) willow, like a fountain
(C major) She stands (G major) in the gloom (C major) and in his air (G major)
And the (D major) night comes on, it is (A minor) very calm
I lie (F major) in her arms and she
says (C major) when I'm gone
I'll be (G major) yours,
yours (Gsus4) (G major) for a (D major) song (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Now the crickets are singing,
the vestibule bell's ringing,
the cat's curled asleep in (G major) his chair, (A major)
and I go down (D major) to Bill's bar,
I (G major) can make (D major) it that far
And I see if my friends are (G major) still there (A major)
Yes, and (G major) here's to the few
Who (D major) for (G major) give what you do
And the fewer who don't (C major) even care (G major)
An (D major) d the night comes on
It is (A minor) very calm
I (F major) want to cross over
I want (C major) to go home, but she says (G major) go back,
go back to the (D major) world (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) you
