[Intro]
Am7 D7  Am7 D7
[Verse]
  Am7                    D7
Going through life the righteous way
    Am7                 D7
The only way so the preacher would say
    Am              D7
You put me on the Jericho Road
  Am7                 D7
Barefoot and smilin standing over here by the piano
[Chorus]
        C      B  Am    G           F
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing
      C   B  Am   G       F
She sang my song and she called me my name
E7
And I hung my head in shame.
[Instrumental]
Am7 D   Am Am7  D7
[Verse]
      Am7                             D7
You sewed my years together like a patchwork quilt
      Am7                         D7
Your bougenvie is bloomed yea it never will
     Am7                    D7
The lessons I remember and some that I forgot
      Am7                       D7
are precious and pure now like one honeysuckle drop
[Chorus]
         C     B  Am     G          F
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing
         C   B   Am   G   F
Yes she sang my song and called me by name

          Bb                                   G                 C G
Though I know just What went with her, she's always here with me   Always here with me

Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing
