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
