VERSE:
FAor reasons that don’t mDatter,
I was wAalking down an alDley
WAith the music cDoming through a scEreen
And wBmithout really thEinking, I
Walked Bmover to the windEow
BmTo what seemed remEinds me of a drAeam
CHORUS:
She was stAanding in the kDitchen
With her fAace turned toward the ceDiling
EyAes closed, stDill they held the liEght
And fBmrom a battered guitEar
Came a sBmound like the angels weEeping
BmFor all the restless spEirits in the niAght

Bm  E   Bm  E   Bm  E  A
VERSE:
I don’t kAnow how long I stDood there
SeAemed like a many many lDifetimes
TAhen I felt the lDoad, just lifting awEay
And wBmalking down the aElley, I
Was fBmeeling so much bEetter
KBmnew that I could tEake another dAay
CHORUS:
She was stAanding in the kDitchen
With her fAace turned toward the ceDiling
EyAes closed, but stDill they held such a liEght
And fBmrom a battered guitEar
Came a sBmound like angels weEeping
BmFor all the restless spEirits in the niAght

RESTLESS SPIRITS

JIMMY LAFAVE

INTRO:

A D A D A D E

Bm E Bm E Bm E A

VERSE:

A D

For reasons that don’t matter,

A D

I was walking down an alley

A D E

With the music coming through a screen

Bm E

And without really thinking, I

Bm E

Walked over to the window

Bm E A

To what seemed reminds me of a dream

CHORUS:

A D

She was standing in the kitchen

A D

With her face turned toward the ceiling

A D E

Eyes closed, still they held the light

Bm E

And from a battered guitar

Bm E

Came a sound like the angels weeping

Bm E A

For all the restless spirits in the night

INSTRUMENTAL:

A D A D A D E

Bm E Bm E Bm E A

VERSE:

A D

I don’t know how long I stood there

A D

Seemed like a many many lifetimes

A D E

Then I felt the load, just lifting away

Bm E

And walking down the alley, I

Bm E

Was feeling so much better

Bm E A

Knew that I could take another day

CHORUS:

A D

She was standing in the kitchen

A D

With her face turned toward the ceiling

A D E

Eyes closed, but still they held such a light

Bm E

And from a battered guitar

Bm E

Came a sound like angels weeping

Bm E A

For all the restless spirits in the night

INSTRUMENTAL:

A D A D A D E

Bm E Bm E Bm E A

A D A D A D E

Bm E Bm E Bm E A

VERSE:

A D

And for reasons that don't matter

A D

I was walking down an alley

A D E

With some music coming through a screen

Bm E

And without really thinking,

Bm E

Walked over to the window

Bm E A

To what seemed reminds me of a dream

CHORUS:

A D

She was standing in the kitchen

A D

With her face turned toward the ceiling

A D E

Eyes closed, still they held the light

Bm E

And from a battered guitar

Bm E

Came a sound like the angels weeping

Bm E A

For all the restless spirits in the night

OUTRO:

Bm E

Yeah, from a battered guitar

Bm E

Came a sound like the angels weeping

Bm E A Bm E Bm E

For all the restless spirits in the night

Bm E A

For all the restless spirits in the night
