      E minorEm         C/GC/G   E minorEm
It was so late and she?d be sleeping
           D/F#D/F#
He came through her home town
              C/GC/G
With the moonlight on the crossroads
               G+G  C/GC/G G+G
And the green light shining down
     E minorEm          C/GC/G   E minorEm
And the bell at the railroad crossing
          D/F#D/F#
And the horn from far away
           C/GC/G
And his Silver Eagle passing
              (G+G)
Half a mile from where she lay

| G+G | C/GC/G | D/F#D/F# E minorEm | C/GC/G |

    E minorEm      C/GC/G  E minorEm
At his feet a sea of faces
              D/F#D/F#
Make devotions with their love
                 C/GC/G  CMaj7/G C/GC/G
Clap their hands and plead their cases
             G+G
Call for blessings from above
         E minorEm      C/GC/G   E minorEm
Like the rolling waves forever massing
               D/F#D/F#
To crash and foam and creep away
          C/GC/G
And the Silver Eagle passing
            (G+G)
Half a mile from where she lay

| G+G | C/GC/G | D/F#D/F# E minorEm | C/GC/G |

       E minorEm      C/GC/G    E minorEm
Road signs flow into the headlights
            D/F#D/F#
Whisper names and fall behind
              C/GC/G   CMaj7/G
He finds some honor in the darkness
               G+G
Hopes for grace and peace of mind
         E minorEm        C/GC/G  E minorEm
And he thinks of how they?d lay together
                 D/F#D/F#
He?d run his fingers through her hair
             C/GC/G
And he wonders if she?ll ever
             (G+G)
Come to know that he was there
