Am
[Verse 1]
Am C
Fast asleep, in the garden
Em F G
The rain is gone away
Am C
Somewhere in the margin
Em F
Are sheep that's gone astray
G F
Like the old man of the ocean, whose eyes tell where he's been
G F
Or one who lacks devotion, betrays his love again
G F Fmaj7
The thief will surely die, when he's taken all he can steal
[Chorus]
C F C Em
Oh__ Whippoorwill, are you high up on your hill?
Am G
While my feet are on the ground
C F C Em
Oh__ whippoorwill, you make my heart stand still
Am F C
When I hear your evening sound
[Interlude]
Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 G Am
[Verse 2]
Am C
I know you're sad, much deeper
Em F G
Than my human ears can hear
Am C
You never had a keeper
Em F
'cause you live where no man's near
G F
You call from out the timber, like a chanter on a throne
G F
Only to remember, the secret's still unknown
G F Fmaj7
And makes us to decide, are we false or are we real
[Chorus]
C F C Em
Oh__ Whippoorwill, are you high up on your hill?
Am G
While my feet are on the ground
C F C Em
Oh__ whippoorwill, you make my heart stand still
Am F C Em
When I hear your evening sound
[Outro]
Am F C Em
When I hear your evening sound
Am F C
When I hear your evening sound
