Kate Wolf – September Song (Guitar)

                        Em             G      A  
The wild geese flew overhead in Pennsylvania

  D                       Em               G         A
I thought of a few choice words I ought to send you

    Em                       A
You know if I thought it was right

       Em                 G              A      D
I'd pretend that you were here with me tonight

                        Em                      G           A  
The ghost of a frontier lady walked through the tall rooms

      D           Em                G          A
Of an old Ontario farmhouse under a full moon

   Em                     A
We sat in the kitchen all night

Em                      A               D
Drinking good whiskey until the morning light

        Em                 A
Did you ever think I would go

            D   G                    A
Out on this road you told me I would take

      D    Em  A  D
Long ago?

                        Em                G           A  
On a Roanoke back-road, laughing beside a cold stove

            D                     Em                  G          A
We sang for old black Francis and Bessie, songs about true love

        Em             A
All the songs I ever knew

Em                  G                  A 
Came back to me and brought me back to you

    D                       Em              G        A  
The leaves were turning, we felt the summer passing

        D                     Em           G        A
Knowing things were changing, even without asking

       Em                  A
Like a photograph faded in time

     Em                A                   D
In a cabin lost in the Blue Ridge mountain pines

                    Em              G     A  
The wind is blowing cold across the bay

    D             Em            G    A
And Massachusetts seems so far away

         Em           A
From the California tides

    Em                G               A 
The rolling hills and roads I used to ride

        D              Em              G      A  
I'll be leaving in the morning, seeing faces

   D                 Em                G       A
Of friends I leave behind in all these places

    Em                A
And though I'm coming home

    Em                     A           D
I'm not coming back to California all alone

    Em                  A
You always knew I would go

    D                G              A
Out on this road you took yourself once

         D  
So long ago
