G C G C
Sweet Kate, open your gate
G D G C D
Here I stand in the wind
G C G C
Threadbare, snow in my hair
G D G G/F#
How I need you again
Em Bm
For lone stalks the hunter's moon
Em Bm D7
Time takes her toll
G C G C
Love, please, mercy on me
G D G C D
And my poor wandering soul
G C G C
Love is a star that will not shine
G D G C D
'Til the hour of your return
G C G C
I count the days in cups of wine
G D G G/F#
And the candles I have burned
Em Bm
And sunrise comes only when I am far away
Em Bm D7
In dreams or when the black thunder rolls, oh oh
G C G C
I cannot save my own sad heart
G D G G/F#
Nor your poor, poor wandering soul
Em Bm
I heard the grey wolf sing her serenade at night
C D G G/F#
But you never held me by the light of day
Em Bm
I climbed the redwood tree and caught the wren in flight
Am Em C D
But her wings were soft as morning and the morning slipped away
