GSat at my Fwindow watched the Cworld, wake up this Gmorning
FPurple sky Cslowly turning Ggolden
FDistant elms so Corange you'd swear they're Gburning
GAll this flowing Fwater has Cgot my mind Gwandering
Do you Fever finally Creach a point of Gknowing
Or do you Fjust wake up one Cday and say, I'm Ggoing
GWhat will I Ftell you when you Cask me why I'm Gcrying
Will I Fpoint above at the CRed Tail gracefully Gsoaring
Or Fdown below where it's Cprey is quietly Gtrembling
GTwo thousand Fyears ago CJesus is left there Ghanging
FPurple sky Cslowly turning Ggolden
FCowards at his feet Cloudly Glaughing
FLoved ones stumbling Chomeward their words Greeling
FRed Tail above my Chead quietly Gsoaring
FWaters turn from ice, Ccreak is Groaring
He says, Fenough of all this s**t CI am Ggoing

G F C G

Sat at my window watched the world, wake up this morning

F C G

Purple sky slowly turning golden

F C G

Distant elms so orange you'd swear they're burning

G F C G

All this flowing water has got my mind wandering

F C G

Do you ever finally reach a point of knowing

F C G

Or do you just wake up one day and say, I'm going

G F C G

What will I tell you when you ask me why I'm crying

F C G

Will I point above at the Red Tail gracefully soaring

F C G

Or down below where it's prey is quietly trembling

G F C G

Two thousand years ago Jesus is left there hanging

F C G

Purple sky slowly turning golden

F C G

Cowards at his feet loudly laughing

F C G

Loved ones stumbling homeward their words reeling

F C G

Red Tail above my head quietly soaring

F C G

Waters turn from ice, creak is roaring

F C G

He says, enough of all this s**t I am going
