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