[Verse 1]
G A string 0h2
Sweetest surrender of winter
G A string 0h2
She put up her flag, it is waving
Am G [E 0-2-3]
The thunder of summer is rumbling in
G A string 0h2
And I haven't seen you in days
G
And my, how that feeling has changed
Am G
Oh, I have been homesick for you since we met
Am
I have been homesick for you

Am
The day that I met Eleanor

[1 Strum]
G
Kiss of the wind in the hill
The clearness of morning, the late evening thrill
[Resume Strum Pattern]
Am G
Blurry and gray like the roar
Am G
The wheels on the highway, above them I soar
G
When I'm in the sweet daughter's eyes
G
My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time
Am G
There's no part of it left to give
Am G
There's no part of it left to give
C G
I never lived 'til I lived in your light
Am C D
And my heart never beat like it does at the sight
C G
Of you baby blue, God blessed your life
Am C G
I do not live 'less I live in your light
Am C G
I do not live 'less I live in your light
Am C G
I do not live.........
