Banks of the 49 ::Intro:: Bb ::Verse #1:: F Sometimes I lie awake and I wonder how you’re doing F It’s been a long time since we spoke dm Last time I was there you had music in the air C We listened till the stereo broke F I told you I believed you it’s not really true F I only want to see you come alive dm Winter’s come and gone and there’s flowers on the lawn C
I miss you coming up my drive ::Pre-Chorus:: Bb You’d tell me different if I ever lost my way Bb You’d tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay gm You’d tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could C And you’d always be careful and kind ::Chorus:: dm If you want to know what’s on my mind F Let me be some help to you this time am If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain C Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain dm If you want to know what’s on my mind F Come on up and see me I’ve been waiting for you all this time ::Interlude:: Bb ::Verse #2:: F Up here the days last forever it seems F The sunlight caresses your face dm You can hear the dogs howling at night C You’ll think you’re in the holiest place F I’ve always played it careful now maybe I was wrong F I think of you as fragile and young dm I have seen the darkness come over your face C Felt the poison of your tongue ::Pre-Chorus:: Bb You’d tell me different if I ever lost my way Bb You’d tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay gm You’d tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could C And you’d always be careful and kind ::Chorus:: dm If you want to know what’s on my mind F Let me be some help to you this time am If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain C Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain dm If you want to know what’s on my mind F Come on up and see me I’ve been waiting for you all this time ::Solo:: Bb Bb Bb ::Verse #3:: F/C Lately there’s something disturbing my sleep F I dream about you almost every night dm You’re alone in your place and there’s a look on your face C I don’t know if it is anger or fright F All that I can tell you is I’m waiting to hear F You know that I am faithful to a flaw dm When you change your mind and you step outside C Hope I’ll be the one you call ::Chorus:: dm If you want to know what’s on my mind F Let me be some help to you this time am If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain C Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain dm If you want to know what’s on my mind dm Look over your shoulder I won’t be far behind F Come on up and see me on the banks of the 49 ::Outro:: Bb
