[Verse 1]
 G+G             C majorC
Spirit of my silence I can hear you
           D MajorD
But I’m afraid to be near you
       C majorC  G+G    C majorC
And I don’t know where to begin
       B minorBm  G+G    C majorC
And I don’t know where to begin
 G+G                C majorC
Somewhere in the desert there’s a forest
        D MajorD
And an acre before us
       C majorC  G+G    C majorC
But I don’t know where to begin
       B minorBm  G+G    C majorC
But I don’t know where to begin

[Bridge 1]
                 D MajorD
Again I’ve lost my strength completely,
    C majorC
oh be near me,
 G+G     C majorC             B minorBm    G+G   C majorC
Tired old mare with the wind in your hair

[Verse 2]
 G+G             C majorC
Amethyst and flowers on the table,
         D MajorD
is it real or a fable?
      C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Well I suppose a friend is a friend
      B minorBm  G+G       C majorC
And we all know how this will end
 G+G                 C majorC
Chimney swift that finds me, be my keeper
          D MajorD
Silhouette of the cedar
       C majorC    G+G      C majorC
What is that song you sing for the dead?
       B minorBm    G+G      C majorC
What is that song you sing for the dead?

[Bridge 2]
                D MajorD
I see the signal searchlight strike me
    C majorC   G+G   C majorC
in the window of my room
            B minorBm    G+G   C majorC
Well I got nothing to prove
            B minorBm    G+G   C majorC
Well I got nothing to prove


[Solo]
G+G C majorC D MajorD C majorC G+G C majorC B minorBm G+G C majorC

[Verse 3]
 G+G              C majorC
I forgive you, mother, I can hear you
         D MajorD
And I long to be near you
      C majorC  G+G      C majorC
But every road leads to an end
      B minorBm  G+G     C majorC
Yes every road leads to an end

[Bridge 3]
             D MajorD
Your apparition passes through me
    C majorC
in the willows:
 G+G    C majorC             B minorBm    G+G   C majorC
Five red hens—you’ll never see us again
           B minorBm    G+G   C majorC
