Genre: folk, country, blues


The Em between G and Am7 is only really heard on the upbeat on the bass, but

fun to use to transition

[Intro]

(Starts with some funky Em I can't figure out)
Em

[Verse]
Em7 Am
Outside my room
Em D Am
I can hear the wind

[Chorus]
G Em Am7
In it: useless or a shadow
G Em Am7
I can see something in my window

[Verse]
Em D Am
It looks just like my ghost
Em D Am
But I think it's just the night

[Chorus]
G Em Am7
Staring back at me into loneliness
G Em Am7
With the patience of the willows

[Verse]
Em D Am
Who's waiting for that searchin' wind
Em D Am
Waiting for a light

[Chorus]
G Em Am7
So why then, if this is true
G Em Am7
Do I love the night and its hollow moon
G Em Am7
And those southern birds leaving me behind
G Em Am7
When they go back home I wanna go home

[Outro]
