September When It Comes chords by Rosanne Cash

To play the song in the original key, tune your guitar 1/2 step down.

Intro: Em

      G
There's a cross above the baby's bed,
  Em
A Saviour in her dreams.
Em
  But she was not delivered then,
     Em
And the baby became me.
      G
There's a light inside the darkened room,
  Em
A footstep on the stairs.
Em
  A door that I forever close,
  Em
To leave those memories there.

Am
 So when the shadows link them,
Am
 Into an evening sun.
       G
Well first there's summer, then I'll let you in.
  Em
September when it comes.

    G
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
 Em
Close my eyes and see.
Em
  And fall into the heart and arms,
   Em
Of those who wait for me.
   G
I cannot move a mountain now;
  Em
I can no longer run.
Em
 I cannot be who I was then:
   Em
In a way, I never was.

 Am
  I watch the clouds go sailing;
Am
  I watch the clock and sun.
    G
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,
  Em
September when it comes.

Am
  So when the shadows link them,
Am
  And burn away the clouds.
     C
They will fly me, like an angel,
Em
To a place where I can rest.
    Em
When this begins, I'll let you know,
  Em
September when it comes.
