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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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