Kate Wolf - September Song
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: D Em G A D Em G A Em A Em A Em A D
Em G A
The wild geese flew overhead in Pennsylvania
D Em G A
I thought of a few choice words I ought to send you
Em A
You know if I thought it was right
Em G A D
I'd pretend that you were here with me tonight
Em G A
The ghost of a frontier lady walked through the tall rooms
D Em G A
Of an old Ontario farmhouse under a full moon
Em A
We sat in the kitchen all night
Em A D
Drinking good whiskey until the morning light
CHORUS:
Em A
Did you ever think I would go
D G A
Out on this road you told me I would take
D Em A D
Long ago?
Em G A
On a Roanoke back-road, laughing beside a cold stove
D Em G A
We sang for old black Francis and Bessie, songs about true love
Em A
All the songs I ever knew
Em G A
Came back to me and brought me back to you
D Em G A
The leaves were turning, we felt the summer passing
D Em G A
Knowing things were changing, even without asking
Em A
Like a photograph faded in time
Em A D
In a cabin lost in the Blue Ridge mountain pines
INSTRUMENTAL: Em A Em A Em A D
Em G A
The wind is blowing cold across the bay
D Em G A
And Massachusetts seems so far away
Em A
From the California tides
Em G A
The rolling hills and roads I used to ride
D Em G A
I'll be leaving in the morning, seeing faces
D Em G A
Of friends I leave behind in all these places
Em A
And though I'm coming home
Em A D
I'm not coming back to California all alone
CHORUS:
Em A
You always knew I would go
D G A
Out on this road you took yourself once
D
So long ago
