E                          A
I came out from under her warm sheets
E                    A
Into the brisk late October
E                A
If only for one last hope
E                                A
I wanted my time with you to be over

E                        A
I’m staring up into the sky
E                              A
While all the rain is pouring down
E                     A
I’m reaching out for your help
E                        A
But evil beings hold me backwards

F#                           A
All shapes and shadows move in and out
    E                A
And hover around my head
F#                 A
Voices arrive and disappear
          E        A
I want to talk to them

F#                          A
Darkness disintegrates, I’m rising
    E                A
I’m rising toward a light
   G#                          B         F#  A  E   A
A light leading over hills and meadows


E                      A
I’ve risen up from the dead
E                          A
With the burning leaves of autumn
E                A
If only for one last chance
E                             A
That all of whom have been defeated

E                          A
To put on my father’s wool coat
E                                   A
To smell my mother’s fragrances and perfumes
E                              A
To find my young brothers and sisters
E                          A
To never leave or let them go

F#                 A
Houses adorned so beautifully
    E               A
The Marin headlands song
      F#                     A
Lost verses well up my eyes and ears
    E              A
The lone mandolin strums


F#                A
On Tamalpais warm spring
    E           A
The many places we
 G#                       B          F# A E A
Lay down in sleepy hidden shadows

          E
I see you well and clear
            F#
Deep in the moonlight, dear
             E                                   A
Your radiant august eyes, they are the suns that rise
             E                                 A    E A B A E  A
They are the light that guides, and these lost verses

E                        A
I came up from under the ocean
E                   A
Evaporated sea salt water
  E              A
A mist above the skyline
E                               A
I haunt the streets of San Francisco

E                              A
Watch over loved ones and old friends
E                                    A
I see them through their living room windows
E                   A
Shaken by fear and worries
E                                   A
I want them to know how I love them so

F#                      A
Foghorns would sound in waking
      E            A
Is it my voice you hear?
F#                    A
Footsteps are moving across the floor
        E        A
And you know I’m here

F#                       A
The afternoon carries up from the hills
            E         A
And you are well and near
   G#                    B      F# A E A
To fall into the light I follow

E                                  F#
I feel you oh so near when morning doves appear
    E                                A
And ghosts of April ring, echo the refrain
     E
Soon finding a place
             A         B
In these lost verses

               E                       B
They fill the foggy day, they hide the hills away
           A
That steal our time
             E                              A
They are the picturesque night, the casting city lights
            E                        A     B E A B A E A
On the bay, flowing into the ocean glowing
