INTRO: Em7 C B7 Em G
                   Am
I wrote to you somewhere in South Australia

  F                   C             G
A poet's heart in the eye of a hurricane

                                 Am
I struggle with finding words to sing these days, I said

   C                                 B7                      Em    G
As if my thoughts are waiting in the wings for the stage to clear
CHORUS:
                             Am
And you in your elegance and humour fill the room

     Em               D
Your love and your concern

     C                         B7                   C
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear

  D             Em7         G
I thank you for being here 

                           Am
You wrote of love from the coast of Mendocino

  F            C                  G
A poet's heart crying a fighter's tears

                                 Am
The children of your body spread out across this earth

     C                       B7                 Em     G
Like messages written across time measuring the years
CHORUS:
                         Am
You in your elegance and humour fill the room

     Em               D
Your love and your concern

     C                         B7                   C
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear

  D             Em7          G
I thank you for being here

                         Am
I heard your songs reach out to California

  F            C                      G
A poet's heart locked in the Coeur d'Alene

                                      Am
Of the old men and the booze, singing out the truth in lives

      C                         B7
Of forgiveness and loyalties to friends

                                 Em    G
Constant as the endless railroad ties
CHORUS:
                         Am
You in your elegance and humour fill the room

     Em               D
Your love and your concern

     C                         B7                   C
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear

  D             Em7          G
I thank you for being here
INSTRUMENTAL: Am F C G Am C B7 Em G
                      Am
So here we are joined finally by our words

F                 C                 G
All poets' hearts close though far apart

                             Am
I remember how you said that language is a knife

     C                               B7                     Em 
That spreads what we feel across the dry crust of someone's heart
CHORUS:
G                        Am
You in your elegance and humour fill the room

     Em               D
Your love and your concern

     C                         B7                   C
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear

  D             Em7      
I thank you for being here
