[Verse 1]
G C
Spirit of my silence I can hear you
D
But I’m afraid to be near you
C G C
And I don’t know where to begin
Am G C
And I don’t know where to begin
G C
Somewhere in the desert there’s a forest
D
And an acre before us
C G C
But I don’t know where to begin
Am G C
But I don’t know where to begin
[Bridge 1]
D
Again I’ve lost my strength completely
C
oh be near me
G C Am G C
Tired old mare with the wind in your hair
[Verse 2]
G C
Amethyst and flowers on the table
D
is it real or a fable
C G C
Well I suppose a friend is a friend
Am G C
And we all know how this will end
G C
Chimney swift that finds me be my keeper
D
Silhouette of the cedar
C G C
What is that song you sing for the dead
Am G C
What is that song you sing for the dead
[Bridge 2]
D
I see the signal searchlight strike me
C G C
in the window of my room
Am G C
Well I got nothing to prove
Am G C
Well I got nothing to prove
[Solo]
G C D C G C Am G C
[Verse 3]
G C
I forgive you mother I can hear you
D
And I long to be near you
C G C
But every road leads to an end
Am G C
Yes every road leads to an end
[Bridge 3]
D
Your apparition passes through me
C
in the willows
G C Am G C
Five red hens—you’ll never see us again
Am G C
You’ll never see us again
