[Verse 1]

She is a weaver
                      F
Through her hands the bright thread 
travels
Blue green water, willows weeping, 
C
silver stars


[Verse 2]

She sings and sighs as the shuttle 
flies
                              F
Through the yarn like a Kerry dancer
Pink and purple velvet red for a 
C             Am
lover's bed


[Chorus]
       Em                  Dm   C
Living north of San Francisco
               F                C 
With a man who built his house 
     Am
alone
       Em              Dm
Living peaceful in the country
    C                    G        
The lights of the Golden Gate will
          C      F   C
 lead her home


[Verse 3]

She is a spinner
Continues after the ad

                              F
In her hands the wooden wheel turns 
the wool around
      C
Then around again


[Verse 4]

A gypsy from Bolinas
                        F
Sits and plays the mandolin
Faces smile in the firelight of a 
C             Am
foggy night


[Chorus]
       Em                  Dm   C
Living north of San Francisco
               F           C      Am
Sometimes it's nice to be alone
               Em                  
She says, it's peaceful where she 
  Dm
is living
    C                    G        
The lights of the Golden Gate will
          C      Am
 lead her home


[Bridge]
                G              F  
You can see the bridges of the 
    C
city
                      F        
Hanging in the air by steel and 
 C      Am
stone
               G                   
She says, it's peaceful where she's
 F
 living
    C                    G        
The lights of the Golden Gate will
          C      F   C
 lead her home


[Verse 5]

She is a weaver
                      F
Through her hands the bright thread 
travels
Blue green water, willows weeping, 
C
silver stars


[Verse 6]

She is my sister
                         F
The baby born when I was older
Her hands are light, her hair is 
              C            Am
bright as the summer sun


[Chorus]
       Em                  Dm   C
Living north of San Francisco
               F           C      Am
Sometimes it's nice to be alone
               Em             
She says, it's peaceful in the 
 Dm
country
    C                    G        
The lights of the Golden Gate will
          C
 lead her home
    C                    G        
The lights of the Golden Gate will
          C      F   C
 lead her home
