After Many Miles

  C               Am           F             C
I'll bring you flowers when you're dead and gone.
  F             Am           G              C
Asleep in the pines in the valley of the mountain.

         C                Am        F                C
Next to you I'll lay my bones when I've reached my prime,
  F            Am                G              C
beside the brandy-wine where I finally find my rest.


[Chorus]

 F             C               G                               C
Oh lover I'll see you there waiting in the willows with your autumn hair.
 F             C              Am        C
Oh lover I'll see you there after many miles.


[Verse]

C              Am           F         C
I swear I've known you from another time
        F                  Am           G                 C
And I caught you down the line but I couldn't stop you moving.

  C          Am       F           C
And when I found you by the riverside
       F              Am            G       C
It's waters wild and wide you left me again.


[Chorus]

F             C               G                                C
Oh lover I'll see you there waiting in the willows with your autumn hair
 F             C              Am        C
Oh lover I'll see you there after many miles.


[Verse]

    C          Am           F           C
An echo of an echo is a semblance of a sound
           F              Am            G              C
and I've prayed and I've waited with my ear upon the ground.

          C             Am           F           C
But the shovel it digs deep and the calluses grow over.
         F          Am            G              C
Like a mirror to a mirror the canyons call your name.


[Chorus]

F             C               G                                C
Oh lover I'll see you there waiting in the willows with your autumn hair
 F             C              Am        C
Oh lover I'll see you there after many miles.

F             C               Am                              C
Oh lover I'll see you there waiting in the willows with your autumn hair
 F             C              Am        C
Oh lover I'll see you there after many miles.
