     I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting
                
G
               
A
     Under the marble and the snow
             
D
           
G
              
D
     I said Mother I'm frightened the thunder and the lightning
                        
G
           
A
     I'll never come through this alone
          
G
            
C
            
G
              
C
     She said I'll be with you my shawl wrapped around you
         
G
            
C
             
G
     My hand on your head when you go

     And the night came on it was very calm, I wanted the night to go on and on
              
G

     But she said go back, go back to the world

     We were fighting in Egypt when they signed this agreement
                  
G
           
A
     That nobody else had to die
                     
D
         
G
           
D
     There was this terrible sound and my father went down
                       
G
           
A
     With a terrible wound in his side
              
G
        
C
            
G
            
C
     He said try to go on take my books take my gun
        
G
         
C
            
G
     Remember my son how they lied
              
D
                   
Am
     And the night comes on it's very calm
          
F
                       
C
     I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
              
G

     But you don't want to lie, not to the young

G
         
D
     We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion
                         
G
               
A
     And I wondered how long she would stay
        
D
         
G
            
D
                                   
G
          
A
     I needed so much to have nothing to touch, I've always been greedy that way
             
G
           
C
               
G
          
C
     But my son and my daughter climbed out of the water
             
G
         
C
           
G
     Crying Papa you promised to play
               
D
                    
Am
     And they lead me away to the great surprise
           
F
                     
C
     It's Papa don't peek, Papa cover your eyes
               
G

     And they hide, they hide in the world

            
D
           
G
           
D
     Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling
                        
G
              
A
     I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
              
D
            
G
          
D
     Saying when will she summon me when will she come to me
                  
G
        
A
     What must I do to prepare
               
G
           
C
              
G
              
C
     When she bends to my longing like a willow like a fountain
           
G
            
C
        
G
     She stands in the luminous air
              
D
                   
Am
     And the night comes on it's very calm
        
F
                    
C
     I lie in her arms, she says when I'm gone

     I'll be yours, yours for a song

     Now the crickets are singing, the vesper bells ringing
                         
G
            
A
     The cat's curled asleep in his chair
              
D
              
G
          
D
     I'll go down to Bill's Bar, I can make it that far
                           
G
                
A
     And I'll see if my friends are still there
              
G
             
C
          
G
             
C
     Yes and here's to the few who forgive what you do
              
G
         
C
          
G
     And the fewer who don't even care
              
D
                    
Am
     And the night comes on, it's very calm
        
F
                    
C
     I want to cross over I want to go home
              
G

     But she says go back, go back to the world
