Restless Spirit Wandering

F#m                         A    
Restless spirit, wandering, come 
        E
on home again
F#m                           
Tell me about your days of old, 
  A           E
wander back again
    A                        C#m   
You won't admit your life is taken,
A                     C#m
 to your death not yet awakened
B                          A     
Restless spirit wandering, come 
       E
on home again

[Verse 1]
F#m                            
Oglethorpe was around this place 
       A            E
some hundred fifty years
F#m                               
Since a Union bullet hit its mark,
         A                 E
 and his teenaged heart it pierced
A                      C#m        
Years ago a young girl lived here,
 A              C#m
 she became his friend
    B                           
But when their family moved away 
       A                 E
their friendship had to end

F#m                         
When we bought this house the 
            A               E
neighbors came and talked about him
F#m                            
Though we've not heard or seen a 
           A             E
thing, I hope he comes again
    A                       C#m   
I'd like to ask him lots of 
      A               C#m
things, and hear the way he talks
B                                 
Describing local battle scenes on 
     A            E
some slow morning walk

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
F#m                         A    
Restless spirit, wandering, come 
        E
on home again
F#m                           
Tell me about your days of old, 
  A           E
wander back again
    A                        C#m  
You won't admit your life is 
  A                     C#m
taken, to your death not yet 
awakened
B                          A     
Restless spirit wandering, come 
       E
on home again

[Verse 2]
F#m                              
The room I write in used to be a 
A       E
two car garage
  F#m                              
A nineteen fifties chrome and fin, 
A                E
white wall tired montage
      A                 C#m       
Years later it became a church, 
       A              C#m
and they moved an organ in
          B                     
And these walls would shake with 
                A               E
holy songs and sermons against sin

  F#m                              
I like to think this place was made
         A              E
 for the kind of work I do
     F#m                      A   
I'll try to be ready when the 
              E
spirit comes back through
     A                 C#m        
I'll write it down and sort it out
     A              C#m
 and make it fairly rhyme
    F#m                      
And marry it to melody of the 
 A              E
highest flying kind

  F#m                          
I want to try be to a friend to 
 A                 E
souls that cannot rest
  F#m                              
I would not blame their anger, 
  A                    E
don't claim to know what's best
    A                       C#m   
But souls are all connected like 
   A             C#m
the branches on a tree
    B                              
And things they see beyond the 
        A                E
grave might help out you and me

[Chorus]
F#m                         A    
Restless spirit, wandering, come 
        E
on home again
F#m                           
Tell me about your days of old, 
  A           E
wander back again
    A                        C#m  
You won't admit your life is 
  A                     C#m
taken, to your death not yet 
awakened
B                          A     
Restless spirit wandering, come 
       E
on home again

A                        C#m    
Don't admit your life is taken, 
A                     C#m
to your death not yet awakened
B                          A     
Restless spirit wandering, come 
       E
on home again
