Rosanne Cash – When September Comes (Guitar)

                Dm
There's a cross above the baby's bed,

  C         C6  Dm
A savior in her dreams,

    Dm7                   Dm
But she was not delivered then,

        C           Dm
And the baby became me,

                           Bb       F
There's a light inside the darkened room,

  C               Dm
A footstep on the stair,

  Bb          F
A door that I forever close,

   C                    F    Am
To leave those memories there,

Bb                  Edim7   Gm  F
So when the shadows lengthen,

Bb              Gm
Into an evening sun,

      C       Dm7          C    Bb      F
First there's summer, then I'll let you in,

C                 Dm
September when it comes.

  Am7           Bb            F
I plan to crawl outside these walls,

C                 Dm
Close my eyes and see,

    Bb            F
And fall into the heart and arms,

   C     F   C        Dm  C
Of those who wait for me,

Dm       C      Bb       F
I cannot move a mountain now,

  C             Dm  C
I can no longer run,

  Bb            F
I cannot be who I was then,

     C           F
In a way I never was.

  Bb                  Gm  F
I watch the clouds go sailing,

  Bb                  Gm
I watch the clock and sun,

     Dm       Dm7  C6  Amaj7  F
Oh I watch myself depending on,

C                 Dm   Amaj7
September when it comes.

Bb               Gm   F
When the shadows lengthen,

Bb            Dm7  Gm
And burn away the past,

          Dm7            C7    F
They will fly me like an angel to,

  C                 Dm  C
A place where I can rest,

Amaj7                 F
When this begins I'll let you in,

C                 Dm7  C  Bbmaj7 F
September when it comes.
