September When It Comes.
Rosanne Cash & Johnny Cash.
Album: Rules Of Travel.
Capo 1.

Intro:
F6 Bb/F F Bb/F F6

Verse:
        Dm
There's a cross above the baby's bed,
 C     C6 Dm
A savior in her dreams,
  Dm7          Dm
But she was not delivered then,
    C      Dm
And the baby became me,
              Bb    F
There's a light inside the darkened room,
 C        Dm
A footstep on the stair,
 Bb     F
A door that I forever close,
  C          F  Am
To leave those memories there,
Bb         Edim7  Gm F
So when the shadows lengthen,
Bb       Gm
Into an evening sun,
   C    Dm7     C  Bb   F
First there's summer, then I'll let you in,
C         Dm
September when it comes.

Instrumental:
C6 Bb F C Bb F

Verse:
 Am7      Bb      F
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
C         Dm
Close my eyes and see,
  Bb      F
And fall into the heart and arms,
  C   F  C    Dm C
Of those who wait for me,
Dm    C   Bb    F
I cannot move a mountain now,
 C       Dm C
I can no longer run,
 Bb      F
I cannot be who I was then,
   C      F
In a way I never was.

 Bb         Gm F
I watch the clouds go sailing,
 Bb         Gm
I watch the clock and sun,
   Dm    Dm7 C6 Amaj7 F
Oh I watch myself depending on,
C         Dm  Amaj7
September when it comes.

Interlude:
F C F6 C Dm C6 Bb Dm F C F

Outro:
Bb        Gm  F
When the shadows lengthen,
Bb      Dm7 Gm
And burn away the past,
     Dm7      C7  F
They will fly me like an angel to,
 C         Dm C
A place where I can rest,
Amaj7         F
When this begins I'll let you in,
C         Dm7 C Bbmaj7 F
September when it comes.
