Johnny Cash – September When It Comes (Guitar)

D          Em             C       G
There's a cross above the baby's bed,

   D              Em
A Savior in her dreams.

     C              G
But she was not delivered then,

        D           Em
And the baby became me.

           Em               C        G
There's a light inside the darkened room,

   D               Em
A footstep on the stair.

C                G
A door that I forever close,

    D                     G
To leave those memories there.

C                      Am
So when the shadows link them,

C                Am
Into an evening sun.

               Em            C           G
First there's summer, then I'll let you in.

D                  Em
September when it comes.

Em                C             G
I plan to crawl outside these walls,

D                  Em
Close my eyes and see.

     C               G
And fall into the heart and arms,

D                     Em
Of those who wait for me.

                 C         G
I cannot move a mountain now;

D                Em
I can no longer run.

C               G
I cannot be who I was then:

      D            G
In a way, I never was.

  C                     Am
I watch the clouds go sailing;

  C                    Am
I watch the clock and sun.

       Em             C       G
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,

D                  Em
September when it comes.

C                   Am
When the shadows link them,

C                  Am
And burn away the clouds.

          Em              C      
They will fly me, like an angel, 

G      D                Em
To a place where I can rest.

C                       G
When this begins, I'll let you know,

D                  Em
September when it comes.
