[D]
Good to see you.
Don't expect no favors
[G] Nothing in [D] return
Tell all you cross-eyed neighbors
[G] That it's none of their [D] concern
[G] Open the [D] shades Melinda
[G] Let in the [D] outside air
[G] [D] I'm deep in doubt and I can't get out
[G] And it must be dark [D] in there
I [Am] wanna walk [D] with you in the morning mist
[Em] Though I should [G] be home [D] by now
[A] And there must [G] be some [D] way out of this
[Em] I was thinking [G]
you'd [D] know how
[G] And my judgment may be [D] shaky
And my [G] shoes are [D] soaking through
[Em] Cuz the [D] weeds are wet and I haven't yet made [G] any
sense [D] of you
[G] [D]
[G]
[D] All the midnight angels
Throw [G] their wings [D] by dawn
And the same old
wild-eyed strangers
[G] Sitting watching till they're [D] gone
I let the night unravel
Forget [G] my [D] vain pursuits
[G]
[D] Except to feel [G] that gray rock [D] gravel
On [G] your road beneath [D] my boots
I [A] wanna walk [G] with you [D] in the changing lights [A] when the shadows
[G] twist [D] and play
[Am] And the ghosts [G] that kept [D] me out all night we can [G] chase them [D] all away
[Em] And the talk [G] of those that [D] wander
And the [G] talk of those [D] that curse
[Em] Let them have their [G] thrill.
[D] They'll need it will be [Am] no [D] more
for the worse
[G]
[D] [Bm] Shine your [D] eyes upon
Whisper long [G] and [D] low
Mindful of the longing that [A] we [D] [G] evermore may know
[D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G] [D]
[E] [D]
[Gm] [D]
Up
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
the ridge on pasture looking down below
You can see the stacks of dandle
[G] When the crowds don't hang [D] so low
[G] Should you take [D] a man to?
[G] Won't you join [D] me there?
[G] Open the shades [D] Melinda [G]
let in the outside [D] air
[Gm]
[D]
[G] [D]
[Bb] Thank you
