Whippoorwill - The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

From The Car Over the Lake album

Intro:

Am

Verse 1:

Am                         C
    Fast asleep, in the garden
Em                    F    G
    The rain is gone away
Am                      C
    Somewhere in the margin
Em                          F
    Are sheep that's gone astray
         G                           F
Like the old man of the ocean, whose eyes tell where he's been
   G                         F
Or one who lacks devotion, betrays his love again
    G                                F                Fmaj7
The thief will surely die, when he's taken all he can steal

Chorus:

        C                  F               C  Em
Oh__ Whippoorwill, are you high up on your hill?
         Am               G
While my feet are on the ground
        C              F                   C  Em
Oh__ whippoorwill, you make my heart stand still
        Am                 F       C
When I hear your evening sound

Interlude:

Em   Fmaj7   Em   Fmaj7   G Am

Verse 2:

Am                             C
    I know you're sad, much deeper
Em                           F    G
    Than my human ears can hear
Am                     C
    You never had a keeper
Em                                   F
    'cause you live where no man's near
    G                                F
You call from out the timber, like a chanter on a throne
G                     F
Only to remember, the secret's still unknown
    G                            F             Fmaj7
And makes us to decide, are we false or are we real

Chorus:

        C                  F               C  Em
Oh__ Whippoorwill, are you high up on your hill?
         Am               G
While my feet are on the ground
        C              F                   C  Em
Oh__ whippoorwill, you make my heart stand still
       Am                 F       C  Em
When I hear your evening sound

Outro:

       Am                 F       C  Em
When I hear your evening sound
       Am                 F       C
When I hear your evening sound
