Tom: Ab
Ab
I was just a boy
Fm
My father seemed a mountain then
Cm Db
With a voice that could shake the seas
Ab Fm
My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders
C Db
And he said she was still watching over me
Ab
My brother was home
Fm
Just returned on army leave
Cm Db
Told his stories with a distant stare
Ab
And as it snowed
Fm
The wind was howling through the trees
C Db Ab
And I spent my night just listening by the fire
( Ab Fm Cm Db Ab Fm C Db C Cm C Cm )
Cm Db
My hands move the creases from my brow
Ab
Soft as a breath
Eb
It's like a feather
Cm Db
I dreamed of a lonely voice that night
Ab
Quiet as death
Eb
Outside my window
Cm Db
It sang a sad and lovely tune
Ab
Clear as a bell
Eb
Soft as a shiver
Cm Db
It said, I want you all the time
Dbm Ab
It said, I want you all the time
( Ab Cm Ab Cm Ab Cm Ab Cm )
Ab Cm
Goodbye bad thoughts
Ab Cm
I'm safe under covers
Ab Cm
So goodbye bad thoughts
Ab Cm
'Cause I'm safe under covers
Ab
Now I can see you again
