"If I Could See Your Face Again" - Steve Earle & The Dukes - Ghosts Of West Virginia - 2020 Transcribed by wranglingoutlaw [Verse 1]
              C
Well, I have lived here all my life

            F             C
Don't know why I'm still surprised

          C                            F    G
That the sunset comes so early to this valley
[Verse 2]
           C
And if I'm not on my toes

     F                  C
The twilight comes and goes

        C                           F       G
And I'm all alone with darkness all around me
[Verse 3]
           C
If I could see your face again

           F                C
Black with coal until your grin

          C                                  F      G
Cuts like sunshine through the shadow of the mountain
[Verse 4]
          C
I'd drop everything and run

       F                   C
Like I know I should have done

      C                               F     G
Every time you come home to me in the evening
[Chorus]
Dm                             G
Tonight, just like the night before

Dm                                 G
Ain't nobody walking through that door
[Verse 5]
       C
If I could touch you one more time

        F                   C
Just to feel your hand in mine

     C                       F     G
I'd never let it go again, I promise
[Verse 6]
      C
Maybe we could find a town

              F            C
Dreams aren't buried underground

           C                     F      G
And not so many ghosts around to haunt us
[Chorus]
Dm                         G
And every breath is not a prayer

Dm                                G
Until I turn around and find you there
[Verse 7]
           C
If I could see your face again

      F                 C
And I knew what I know then

           C                        F    G
I wouldn't make you work so hard to win me
[Verse 8]
      C
I'd surrender to your arms

         F                   C
Wrapped around me, safe and warm

         C                              F     G
'cause I knew you were the one from the beginning
[Outro]
Dm              F       G
And I'd give almost anything

Dm              G            | C F C C | F F C ...
If I could only see your face again
