Fifteen Months

A


[Verse 1]
A
The cats are sleeping here in the autumn sun
A
Your dog has flushed a deer and he's on the run
        Bm
And the coffee cup is cold
                               A
And the morning's feeling very old


[Verse 2]
A
Fifteen months of time my man's been gone
A
The second winter now is coming on
        Bm7
And our fates could all be worse
                                    A
But sometimes I still must curse my own


[Chorus]
       F
And hello
           A
I wish you well
          F
Where you sleep
            A E
All in your cell


[Verse 3]
       A
As for friends I can't complain, they've been good to me
A
The fire's burning bright, they've left wood for me
        Bm
And the roof has been repaired
                                      A
And I thank them for the love they've shared


[Verse 4]
A
You see, there's really nothing wrong, I've just got the blues
A
Because if you give a damn you're going to pay some dues
           Bm
But if you see the game we're in
                                  A
Like I do, you know in time we'll win


[Chorus]
       F
And hello
           A
I wish you well
      F
Where you sleep
       A     E E7
All in your cell


[Verse 5]
A
So time give me a break of a week or more
A
My head is reeling and my back is sore
        Bm
And the baby cries for me
                                  A
And I think I'll walk by the sea alone
