Anthem
(Lord/Evans)
From "The Book of Taliesyn"; 1968
[Intro]
[Verse]
Am Bm E7 Am C F
When the night winds softly blow through my open window
Dm E Am C F Dm E7
then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Am Bm E Am C F
Now the night winds softly blow sadness to tomorrow
Dm E Am C F
bringing tears to eyes so tired
Dm E7
Eyes I thought could cry no more
[Chorus]
A C#m F#m Fm#7 D
If the day would only come then you might just appear
C#m Bm G D
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand
A E D
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)
E A E D
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh
E A D C#m F#m
To see if you are laughing or crying
A D Bm E A Am Dm E
When the night winds softly blow
[Verse]
Am D E Am C F
In my dark and whispering room Memories still bring me
Dm E Am C F Dm E7
a numbness to my feelings Take my hand and brush my brow
Am D E Am C F
In the warm and fevered dark Heart is madly beating
Dm E Am C F
My crazy thoughts are burning
Dm E7
When the night winds softly blow
[Solo]
[Chorus]
A C#m F#m F#m D
If the day would only come then you might just appear
C#m Bm G D
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand
A E D
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)
E A E D
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh
E A D C#m F#m
To see if you are laughing or crying
A D Bm E A Am Dm E
When the night winds softly blow
[Outro]
