So i'm not a 100% percent sure about this, but it sounds just fine to me and no one else has posted it
so i might aswell since it's a great song! I pick the song with my thumb, index finger and middle finger
because i think it sounds better, but you can use your thumb and index finger only if you find it easier.
(*=single strum)

Am
The window opens I hear the toddling waves
I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates
G Am
I would like to leave it all just for a week or two
G Am
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, whatever I would see
Am
It's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand
I could be anything but not yours on demand
G Am
I would like to leave it all if I only could
G Am
Maybe I'd see it in clarity if I'd see anything at all
Am* G* Am* Am* G* Am*
But the birds they are singing that sweet and lonesome song
G* Am*
Oh mother oh brother
Am
Take me home today
Am
You may call me irresponsible or even carefree
But it's not the way I intended to be
G Am
I would like to stay here and not say a word
G Am
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, or I'll see nothing at all
Am* G* Am* Am* G* Am*
But the wolfs they are howling that sweet but haunted song
G* Am*
Oh father oh sister
Am
Take me home today
outro same as intro
