Verse 1 Chords: CFG5F I came out from under her warm sheets DmCFG Into the brisk late October CFG5F If only for one last hope DmCFG I wanted my time with you to be over
Verse 2: use verse 1 chords I’m staring up into the sky While all the raining is pouring down I’m reaching out for your help But evil beings hold me backwards
Chorus 1: DmCFC All shapes and shadows move in and out DmAmGFCDm And hover round my bed CFC Voices arrive and disappear, DmAmGFCDm I want to talk to them CFC Darkness disintegrates I’m rising; DmAmGFCEm I’m rising toward a light AmF A light leading over hills and meadows
Interlude 1: C-F-G-F x2 (starting here and onwards, insert Riff 1 where appropriate)
Verse 3+4: Use Verse 1 chords I’ve risen up from the dead With the burning leaves of autumn If only for one last chance That all of whom have been defeated To put on my father’s wool coat To smell my mother’s fragrances and perfumes To find my young brothers and sisters To never leave or let them go
Chorus 2: Use chorus 1 chords Houses adorned so beautifully The Marin headlands song Lost verses well up my eyes and ears The lone mandolin strums On Tamalpais warm spring The many places we Lay down in sleepy hidden shadows
Interlude 2: Em-C-Dm-C-Am, then Em-C-Dm-C-Am
Bridge: CAm I see you well and clear, deep in the moonlight dear CF Your radiant august eyes, they are the suns that rise C They are the light that blinds, FG, then -> C-F-G5-F x2 They end these lost verses
Verse 5+6: Use Verse 1 chords I came up from under the ocean Evaporated sea salt water A mist above the skyline I haunt the streets of San Francisco Watch over loved ones and old friends I see them trough their living room windows Shaken by fear and worries I want them to know how I love them so
Chorus: Foghorns would sound in waking Is it my voice you hear? Footsteps are moving across the floor And you know I’m here The afternoon carries up from the hills and you are well and near To fall into the light I follow
Interlude 3: Em-C-Dm-C-Am
Final Bridge: CAm I feel oh so near, when morning doves appear CF And ghosts of April ring, echo the refrain CFG Soon finding a place, in these lost verses CG They fill the foggy day, they hide the hills away FC That steal our time, they are the picturesque night F The casting city lights CFG, then C-F-G5-F x2 On the bay flowing into the ocean glowing
