[Intro] Am D7 Am D7 [Verse]
  Am                    D7
Going through life the righteous way

    Am                 D7  
The only way so the preacher would say

    Am              D7   
You put me on the Jericho Road

  Am                  D7                         
Barefoot and smilin standing over here by the piano
[Chorus]
        C      B  Am    G           F
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

      C   B  Am   G       F            
She sang my song and she called me my name

E
And I hung my head in shame. 
[Instrumental] Am D7 Am D7 [Verse]
      Am                             D7
You sewed my years together like a patchwork quilt

      Am                             D7   
Your bougainvillea's bloomed yea it never wilt

     Am                     D7         
The lessons I remember and some that I forgot

      Am                        D7           
are precious and pure now like one honeysuckle drop
[Chorus]
         C     B  Am     G          F  
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

         C   B   Am   G   F
Yes she sang my song and called me by name

E
And I hung my head in shame
[Instrumental]
Am D7   Am  D7   Am   D7
Lord above..
[Bridge]
   F                                         D7
I sing my song with the Whippoorwill in a sweet high harmony

          Bb                                   G                   G
Though I know just What went with her, she's always here with me   Always here with me
[Chorus]
         C     B  Am     G          F  
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

         C   B   Am   G   F
Yes she sang my song and called me by name

E
And I hung my head in shame
[Outro]
Am D7   Am  D7   Am   D7
Starting all over again, Yes I'm starting all over again
