CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:    G     D  G  
My friend, Ccome stand beGside me
DLately, I'm feeling so Glost
A flood came and washed the Cstones of the Gpath away
And a Dhot sun turned the mud to Gdust
DCalling the sheep in for the Gevening
There's a Emvoice, calls aCbove the howling Dwind
It says, Gcomes rest beCside my little Gfire
We'll Dride out the storm that's coming Gin
INTERLUDE:   G    C     G     D  G  
My friend, you Cknow me and my Gfamily
You've Dseen us wandering through these Gtimes
You've seen us in Cweakness and in Gpower
You've Dseen us forgetful and unGkind
DAll that I want is one who Gknows me
A kind Emhand on my Cface when I Dweep
And I'd Ggive back these Cthings I know are Gmeaningless
For a little Dfire beside me when I Gsleep
INSTRUMENTAL:   G    C     G     D      G    C     G     D     G  
DAll that I want is one who Gknows me
A kind Emhand on my Cface when I Dweep
And I'd Ggive back these Cthings I know are Gmeaningless
For a little Dfire beside me when I Gsleep
OUTRO:   G    C     G     D     G(4x)

All that I want is one who knows me

A kind hand on my face when I weep

And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless

For a little fire beside me when I sleep
