[Verse 1]
E                          A                              B
Spirit of my silence I can hear you, but I'm afraid to be near you
            F#m   E         A
And I don't know where to begin
            F#m   E         A
And I don't know where to begin

[Verse 2]
E                                  A                     B
Somewhere in the desert there's a forest, and an acre before us
            F#m   E         A
But I don't know where to begin
            F#m   E         A
But I don't know where to begin
                              B            F#m     E         A     E
Again I lost my strength completely, or be near me tired old mare
                      F#m
With the wind in your hair

[Verse 3]
E                            A                      B
Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?
          F#m     E          A
Well I suppose a friend is a friend
           F#m  E             A
And we all know how this will end

[Verse 4]
E                                 A                          B
Chimney swift that finds me be my keeper, silhouette of the cedar
             F#m      E             A
What is that song you sing for the dead
             F#m      E             A
What is that song you sing for the dead     
                              B                F#m    E     A    E
I see the signal searchlight strike me, in the window of my room
                      F#m   E   A
Well I got nothing to prove
                      F#m   
Well I got nothing to prove

[Verse 5]
E                          A                          B
I forgive you mother I can hear you, and I long to be near you
          F#m   E             A
But every road leads to an end
          F#m   E             A
Yes every road leads to an end
                        B                 F#m         E         A     E
Your apparition passes through me, in the willows and five red hens
                       F#m   E   A
You'll never see us again
                       F#m   E   A
You'll never see us again
