I THINK OF YOU (Utah Phillips)
October 10, 2008
Banjo Tuned E, Play Key of D Moderate to Slow Tempo
I loDok to see the wildflowers Ablooming & wonder why they seem so E7plain.
The spDringtime rides all the brown hills oAver, young birds sinEg in a silver rain.
I thiDnk of you as the night rolls Aby, you're on my minE7d the whole night through,
Far awaDy in a lonesome cAity, All the time youE7're gone, I think Aof yoDu.
And whDen my world has turned to Asunlight,
And the dust E7clouds stand in the summeAr sky,
I'll number all the climbinEg roses,
Watch Ato see the milkweed Dfly.
And when I hear the soft wind Amoaning
Like an anE7gel's voice from a far-off Ashore,
My days Aslip by like light snow Efalling,
Or dry Abrown leaves blown by my Ddoor.
