Capo 3
Intro: (C)(D)(G) . . . (C)(D)
(G)Sweet (C)Kate, (G)open your (C)gate
Here I (G)stand (D)in the (G)wind (C)(D)
(G)Thread(C)bare, (G)snow in my (C)hair
How I (G)need (D)you (G)again (G/F#)
For (Em)lone stalks the (Bm)hunter's moon
(Em)Time takes her (Bm)toll (D7)
(G)Love, (C)please, (G)mercy on (C)me
And my (G)poor (D)wandrin (G)soul (C)(D)
(G)Love is a (C)star that (G)will not (C)shine
Til the (G)hour of (D)your (G)return (C)(D)
(G)I count the (C)days in (G)cups of (C)wine
And the (G)candles (D)I have (G)burned (G/F#)
(Em)And sunrise comes only (Bm)when I am far away
In (Em)dreams or when the black thunder (Bm)rolls (D7)
(G)I cannot (C)save my (G)own sad (C)heart
Nor your (G)poor, poor (D)wanderin (G)soul (G/F#)
(Em)I heard the grey wolf sing (Bm)her serenade at night
But you (C)never held me (D)by the light of (G)day (G/F#)
(Em)I climbed the redwood tree and (Bm)caught the wren in flight
But her (Am)wings were soft as (Em)morning and the (C)morning slipped a(D)way
(G)Sweet (C)Kate, (G)open your (C)gate
Here I (G)stand (D)in the (G)wind (C)(D)
(G)Thread(C)bare, (G)snow in my (C)hair
How I (G)need (D)you (G)again (G/F#)
For (Em)lone stalks the (Bm)hunter's moon
(Em)Time takes her (Bm)toll (D7)
(G)Love, (C)please, (G)mercy on (C)me
And my (G)poor (D)wandrin (Em)soul
(G)Love is a (C)star that (G)will not (C)shine
Til the (G)hour of (D)your (G)return (C)(D)
(G)I count the (C)days in (G)cups of (C)wine
And the (G)candles (D)I have (G)burned (G/F#)
(Em)And sunrise comes only (Bm)when I am far away
In (Em)dreams or when the black thunder (Bm)rolls (D7)
(G)I cannot (C)save my (G)own sad (C)heart
Nor your (G)poor, poor (D)wanderin (Em)soul
Open the (C)gate, love
So many (Am)candles
Suddenly morning slips a(Bm)way from (Em)me
And the (C)wax heart (D)weeps and (Em)blisters
And it's (Am)burning (D)where he (Em)kissed her
And the (C)ghost of lost love (D7)whispers, "sweet (G)Kate..." (C)(G)(C)(D)(G)
