Whippoorwill - The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

From The Car Over the Lake album

Intro:

A minorAm

Verse 1:

A minorAm             C majorC
  Fast asleep, in the garden
E minorEm          FF  G+G
  The rain is gone away
A minorAm           C majorC
  Somewhere in the margin
E minorEm             FF
  Are sheep that's gone astray
     G+G              FF
Like the old man of the ocean, whose eyes tell where he's been
  G+G             FF
Or one who lacks devotion, betrays his love again
  G+G                FF        Fmaj7Fmaj7
The thief will surely die, when he's taken all he can steal

Chorus:

    C majorC         FF        C majorC E minorEm
Oh__ Whippoorwill, are you high up on your hill?
     A minorAm        G+G
While my feet are on the ground
    C majorC       FF          C majorC E minorEm
Oh__ whippoorwill, you make my heart stand still
    A minorAm         FF    C majorC
When I hear your evening sound

Interlude:

E minorEm  Fmaj7Fmaj7  E minorEm  Fmaj7Fmaj7  G+G A minorAm

Verse 2:

A minorAm               C majorC
  I know you're sad, much deeper
E minorEm              FF  G+G
  Than my human ears can hear
A minorAm           C majorC
  You never had a keeper
E minorEm                  FF
  'cause you live where no man's near
  G+G                FF
You call from out the timber, like a chanter on a throne
G+G           FF
Only to remember, the secret's still unknown
  G+G              FF       Fmaj7Fmaj7
And makes us to decide, are we false or are we real

Chorus:

    C majorC         FF        C majorC E minorEm
Oh__ Whippoorwill, are you high up on your hill?
     A minorAm        G+G
While my feet are on the ground
    C majorC       FF          C majorC E minorEm
Oh__ whippoorwill, you make my heart stand still
    A minorAm         FF    C majorC E minorEm
When I hear your evening sound

Outro:

    A minorAm         FF    C majorC E minorEm
When I hear your evening sound
    A minorAm         FF    C majorC
When I hear your evening sound
