Banks of the 49
::Intro::
F - C/F - Bb - F - C/F - Bb
::Verse #1::
F
Sometimes I lie awake and I wonder how you’re doing
Bb F
It’s been a long time since we spoke
C Dm
Last time I was there you had music in the air
Gm C
We listened till the stereo broke
F
I told you I believed you it’s not really true
Bb F
I only want to see you come alive
C Dm
Winter’s come and gone and there’s flowers on the lawn
Gm C
I miss you coming up my drive
::Pre-Chorus::
Am Bb
You’d tell me different if I ever lost my way
Am Bb
You’d tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay
Gm
You’d tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could
C
And you’d always be careful and kind
::Chorus::
Bb C Dm
If you want to know what’s on my mind
Bb C F
Let me be some help to you this time
F C/E Dm Am
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Gm Bb C
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
Bb C Dm
If you want to know what’s on my mind
Bb C F
Come on up and see me I’ve been waiting for you all this time
::Interlude::
F - C/F - Bb - F - C/F - Bb
::Verse #2::
F
Up here the days last forever it seems
Bb F
The sunlight caresses your face
C Dm
You can hear the dogs howling at night
Gm C
You’ll think you’re in the holiest place
F
I’ve always played it careful now maybe I was wrong
Bb F
I think of you as fragile and young
C Dm
I have seen the darkness come over your face
Gm C
Felt the poison of your tongue
::Pre-Chorus::
Am Bb
You’d tell me different if I ever lost my way
Am Bb
You’d tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay
Gm
You’d tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could
C
And you’d always be careful and kind
::Chorus::
Bb C Dm
If you want to know what’s on my mind
Bb C F
Let me be some help to you this time
F C/E Dm Am
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Gm Bb C
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
Bb C Dm
If you want to know what’s on my mind
Bb C F
Come on up and see me I’ve been waiting for you all this time

::Verse #3::
F F/A F/C
Lately there’s something disturbing my sleep
Bb F
I dream about you almost every night
C Dm
You’re alone in your place and there’s a look on your face
Gm C
I don’t know if it is anger or fright
F
All that I can tell you is I’m waiting to hear
Bb F
You know that I am faithful to a flaw
C Dm
When you change your mind and you step outside
Gm C
Hope I’ll be the one you call
::Chorus::
Bb C Dm
If you want to know what’s on my mind
Bb C F
Let me be some help to you this time
F C/E Dm Am
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Gm Bb C
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
Bb C Dm
If you want to know what’s on my mind
Bb C Dm
Look over your shoulder I won’t be far behind
Bb C F
Come on up and see me on the banks of the 49
::Outro::
F - C/F - Bb - F - C/F - Bb
