As I Wander chords by Bill Callahan

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

G              D  C
I travel, I sing, I notice when
                     G
people notice things

Well, As I wander through the

Am           D
rooms of the world
        Bm
love archives me

    G        A
the clarion call can get
    G        A
trapped in a horn in a case
            Bm
beneath the bed

     G        D
The life of a magician's dove
     A
I've led

              D
And Paul rode horses on these
Bm
roads

            G              A
WritinG the letters in his head
      D             Bm
and I may have been wandering too
G
 lonG

D
In love with wandering,
Bm                   G
wandering, wandering love

A           G         A
Squandering offerings like the
              Bm       G
idol with it's mandarin

                    D
It's just that I'm all of these
Bm
  things

     G
Like water may freeze to break a
A
 ring
     G                     A
This bridge may cause this train to sink
     D             Bm
The babies make me feel at ease
     G              A
with eyes like honey-drunk bees

As I wander the aisle between them

        G
Tickets please
      F
It's times like these

That the forces at work begin
            E
considering me

       F
As the link between death and
E
dreams

    Bm
For some sweet minutes, everyone
   G           A
is counting on me
   Bm
To get them home

G      A
Say
Bm               G
Before the track ends
                    A
Through the wayward symphonies of
         D
steel on steel
G                 A
As the City falls away to single
                 D
Bricks in the field
G                   A
As if I were the conductor and
                Bm
this train were real
