Mark Erelli - Call You Home
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C Em Dm G C Em Dm G
[Verse 1]
C
There are seven sisters weeping
Em
Down by the old Oxbow
Dm
As the coffee coloured river
G
Starts to swell with melting snow
[Verse 2]
C
Soon a bittersweet new season
Em
Will turn the grey to green again
F
And I'll have to find a way
Am G
To say goodbye to you, my friend
[Chorus]
F C
I'm gonna miss you, this I know
Em F G
Though I'll be just another memory when I go
Am G/B C
Will you forgive me all my sins
Am G/B C
And gather me back in
F G
Like the prodigal son no more to roam
F G C Em Dm G
Will you let me once again call you home
[Verse 3]
C
The sky is open like a chalice
Em
All along the river road
Dm
Where the patchwork field tobacco barns
G
Shiver in the cold
[Verse 4]
C
I could drink it in for hours
Em
And never take my fill
F
I tell myself that I'll forget
Am G
But I know I never will
[Chorus]
F C
I'm gonna miss you, this I know
Em F G
Though I'll be just another memory when I go
Am G/B C
Will you forgive me all my sins
Am G/B C
And gather me back in
F G
Like the prodigal son no more to roam
F G C Em Dm G
Will you let me once again call you home
[Instrumental]
F G Bb G Am F C/E C/D C G
[Verse 5]
C
The wild birds take their passage
Em
Across the vernal sky
Dm
Like an arrow loosed from God's own bow
G
So swift and true they fly
[Verse 6]
C
Lord, draw me from your quiver
Em
And take away my tears
F
Shoot me o'er the seven sisters
Am G
Somewhere far away from here
[Chorus]
F C
I'm gonna miss you, this I know
Em F G
Though I'll be just another memory when I go
Am G/B C
Will you forgive me all my sins
Am G/B C
And gather me back in
F G
Like the prodigal son no more to roam
F G C Em Dm G
Will you let me once again call you home
