CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:   D    Em    G    A    D    Em    G    A    Em    A    Em    A    Em     A  D  
The wild geese flew overEmhead in PennsylGvaniaA  
I Dthought of a few choice Emwords I ought to Gsend youA  
You Emknow if I thought it was Aright
I'd preEmtend that you were Ghere with me toAnightD  
The ghost of a frontier Emlady walked through the Gtall roomsA  
Of an Dold Ontario Emfarmhouse under a Gfull moonA  
We Emsat in the kitchen all Anight
EmDrinking good whiskey unAtil the morning Dlight
CHORUS:
Did you Emever think I would Ago
Out on this Droad Gyou told me I would Atake
Long aDgo?Em  A  D  
On a Roanoke back-road, Emlaughing beside a Gcold stoveA  
We sang for Dold black Francis and EmBessie, songs about Gtrue loveA  
All the Emsongs I ever knAew
EmCame back to me and Gbrought me back to Ayou
The Dleaves were turning, we Emfelt the summer GpassingA  
Knowing Dthings were changing, Emeven without GaskingA  
Like a Emphotograph faded in Atime
In a Emcabin lost in the ABlue Ridge mountain Dpines
INSTRUMENTAL:   Em    A    Em    A    Em    A      D  
The wind is blowing Emcold across the GbayA  
And DMassachusetts Emseems so far aGwayA  
From the EmCalifornia tiAdes
The Emrolling hills and Groads I used to Aride
I'll be Dleaving in the Emmorning, seeing GfacesA  
Of Dfriends I leave beEmhind in all these GplacesA  
And Emthough I'm coming Ahome
I'm Emnot coming back to CaliAfornia all aDlone
CHORUS:
You Emalways knew I would Ago
Out Don this road you Gtook yourself oAnce
So long aDgo

Kate Wolf - September Song

CAPO: 4th Fret

D Em G A D Em G A Em A Em A Em A D

INTRO:

Em G A

The wild geese flew overhead in Pennsylvania

D Em G A

I thought of a few choice words I ought to send you

Em A

You know if I thought it was right

Em G A D

I'd pretend that you were here with me tonight

Em G A

The ghost of a frontier lady walked through the tall rooms

D Em G A

Of an old Ontario farmhouse under a full moon

Em A

We sat in the kitchen all night

Em A D

Drinking good whiskey until the morning light

CHORUS:

Em A

Did you ever think I would go

D G A

Out on this road you told me I would take

D Em A D

Long ago?

Em G A

On a Roanoke back-road, laughing beside a cold stove

D Em G A

We sang for old black Francis and Bessie, songs about true love

Em A

All the songs I ever knew

Em G A

Came back to me and brought me back to you

D Em G A

The leaves were turning, we felt the summer passing

D Em G A

Knowing things were changing, even without asking

Em A

Like a photograph faded in time

Em A D

In a cabin lost in the Blue Ridge mountain pines

Em A Em A Em A D

INSTRUMENTAL:

Em G A

The wind is blowing cold across the bay

D Em G A

And Massachusetts seems so far away

Em A

From the California tides

Em G A

The rolling hills and roads I used to ride

D Em G A

I'll be leaving in the morning, seeing faces

D Em G A

Of friends I leave behind in all these places

Em A

And though I'm coming home

Em A D

I'm not coming back to California all alone

CHORUS:

Em A

You always knew I would go

D G A

Out on this road you took yourself once

So long ago
