Kate Wolf – The Trumpet Vine (Guitar)

A                                    D 
The trumpet vine grew in the kitchen window

    E                            A
And bloomed bright orange on the wall

A                             D
You sat in the morning light, holding A guitar

       E                          A
As the first summer rain began to fall

D                                  A
And like the gentle raindrops your words fell in the air

D                            A           E
Making things so clear as we quietly sat there

   A                          Bm  
It reminded me of other times you had come before

    E7                                                   A
And brought A song or just walked in through the kitchen door

A                                    D
Now it seems the truest words I ever heard from you

E                                   A
Were said at kitchen tables we have known

A                                      D
'cause somehow in that warm room, with coffee on the stove

    E                          A
Our hearts were really most at home

D                                  A
Sitting at A table looking hard at you

D                             A                    E
Catching up on stories of the things we'd tried to do

A                                        Bm
It seems we really said the most when we didn't talk at all

E7                                                  A
Let the songs speak for us like the sunlight on the wall.

A                         D
Now as we come and go, in sunshine and in rain

E                                         A
Some years are seen more clearly than the rest

A                                       D
And if it weren't for kitchen songs and mornings spent with friends

E                                        A
We all might lose the things we love the best

D                           A
I can see you sitting there beneath the trumpet vine

D                                      A             E
The sunlight through the window in the kitchen in my mind.

    A                            Bm  
You came when you were needed, I could not ask for more

         E7                                          A
Than to turn to find you walking through the kitchen door.

    A                            Bm  
You came when you were needed, I could not ask for more

         E7                                           A
Than to turn and find you walking through the kitchen door.
