[3rd fret]

G D C               D                 Em       C
     It felt like springtime on this february morning
         G                    D            G       D
in the courtyard birds were singing your praise
C            D                  Em              C
i'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
   G                   D
alright, i carry them with me today now


G     D      C       D            G          D                C
as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
D                  G      D       C           D       G
though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
    D               C      D
and i will wake up happy


           G D    C           D              Em             C
i wonder why –– i feel so high, while i'm not above my sorrow
         G              D        G
heavy hearted 'til you call my name
D                   C                  D            Em
and it sounds like churchbells or the whistle of a train
               C               G                  D
on a summer evening I want to meet you barefoot, barely breathing...

G     D      C       D            G          D                C
as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
D                  G      D       C           D       G
though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
    D               C      D
and i will wake up happy

G     D      C       D            G          D                C
as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
D                  G      D       C           D       G
though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
    D               C      D
and i will wake up happy

G             A#      F            D                A#                     
it's not too near for me, like a flower i need the rain
                 C#     G#         F#              G#
though it's not real to me, every season has its change
           Bb                C
and i will see you when the sun comes out again

G     D      C       D            G          D                C
as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
D                  G      D       C           D       G
though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
    D               C      D
and i will wake up happy

G     D      C       D            G          D                C
as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
D                  G      D       C           D       G
though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
    D               C      D
and i will wake up happy
