Gillian Welch – Fair September (Guitar)

G           F    G         C
It was on a fair September night

        G     Dm      G
That my lover came to me

G                F            G             C
I said, "Darling girl, you're strange to me now

    G        Dm      G
Not like you used to be"

G          F        G          C
I remember you as a beautiful rose

    G      Dm      G
Out in the morning light

G            F         G          C
But now your cheeks so silent and pale

    G        Dm      G
And you only walk at night

   G        F      G           C
Oh yes, the sun is hateful and sore

       G      Dm         G
On the racing streets at noon

G        F       G              C
And so I wait alone through the day

    G        Dm      G
And like the jasmine bloom

G                F          G        C
Then she left me there as I lay in a thirst

     G     Dm         G
That water could not quell

G                 F       G           C
And her voice was sad and soft in her throat

       G       Dm       G
As she bid me last farewell

    G       F      G           C
And now the sun is hateful and sore

       G       Dm         G
On the racing streets at noon

G        F      G               C
And so I wait alone through the day

    G        Dm      G
And like the jasmine bloom
