The Whippoorwill

Am D  Am D

[Verse]

  Am                    D
Going through life the righteous way
    Am                 D
The only way so the preacher would say
    Am              D
You put me on the Jericho Road
  Am                  D
Barefoot and smilin standing over here by the piano

[Chorus]

        C      B  Am    G           F
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing
      C   B  Am   G       F
She sang my song and she called me my name
E
And I hung my head in shame.

[Instrumental]

Am D   Am  D

[Verse]

      Am                             D
You sewed my years together like a patchwork quilt
      Am                             D
Your bougainvillea's bloomed yea it never wilt
     Am                     D
The lessons I remember and some that I forgot
      Am                        D
are precious and pure now like one honeysuckle drop

[Chorus]

         C     B  Am     G          F
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

         C   B   Am   G   F
Yes she sang my song and called me by name
E
And I hung my head in shame

[Instrumental]

Am D   Am  D   Am   D
Lord above..

[Bridge]

   F                                         D
I sing my song with the Whippoorwill in a sweet high harmony
          Bb                                   G                 
Though I know just What went with her, she's always here with me   
  G
Always here with me

[Chorus]

         C     B  Am     G          F
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing
         C   B   Am   G   F
Yes she sang my song and called me by name
E
And I hung my head in shame

[Outro]

Am D   Am  D   Am   D
Starting all over again, Yes I'm starting all over again
