C majorC
I was just a boy
          A minorAm
My father seemed a mountain then
    C majorC             FF
With a voice that could shake the seas
      C majorC           A minorAm
My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders
    E MajorE                FF
And he said she was still watching over me

C majorC
My brother was home
         A minorAm
Just returned on army leave
     C majorC           FF
Told his stories with a distant stare
     C majorC
And as it snowed
           A minorAm
The wind was howling through the trees
   E MajorE          FF        C majorC
And I spent my night just listening by the fire

C, Am, Em, F, C, Am, E, F, E, Em, E, E minorEm

E minorEm               FF
My hands move the creases from my brow
     C majorC
Soft as a breath
      G+G
It's like a feather
 E minorEm               FF
I dreamed of a lonely voice that night
     C majorC
Quiet as death
      G+G
Outside my window
     E minorEm       FF
It sang a sad and lovely tune
      C majorC
Clear as a bell
     G+G
Soft as a shiver
     E minorEm         FF
It said, I want you all the time
  F minorFm            C majorC
It said, I want you all the time

C, Em, C, Em, C, Em, C, E minorEm

C majorC       E minorEm
Goodbye bad thoughts
         C majorC     E minorEm
I'm safe under covers
        C majorC      E minorEm
So goodbye bad thoughts
           C majorC  E minorEm
'Cause I'm safe under covers
         C majorC
Now I can see you again

Am, C, F, C, Am, E, F, Am, C, F, C, Am, E, F,
