CAPO: 2nd Fret

## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##

[INTRO]
[G] [D] [G] [D]

[VERSE 1]
[G]When the hush of night lays deep, [C]when the moon shines [D]eerie red
[G]When most watchers are asleep and [C]even nightmares [D]stay in bed
I[C] waited and I [D]waited, to find the pictures in my [C]mind
But a scene I’d not cre[D]ated and those pictures inter[C]twined
Within a tangled [D]dream, a firefly flits a[C]bout
A scene almost un[D]seen, just a flash, the flash goes out [G]

[CHORUS]
With contra[D]dictions all a[C]bout [G]
My con[D]victions turn to [C]doubt [G]
[D] [C] ~ [Am]
Oh, how bitter a thought’s free rein
Methinks I [D]see thee, [G]Jane [C] [D] [G] [C] [D]

[VERSE 2]
Was [G]that a gleam of golden hair, [C]flashing here, [D]flashing there
Or [G]just a dream caught unaware, a [C]vision of the [D]moonlight’s glare [C]
Hush, don’t say a [D]word, your eyesight’s over[C]wrought
Maybe something really [D]stirred, maybe so or maybe [C]not
No one is planting [D]flowers in the prowling time of [C]night
But in these short dark [D]hours, even memories can bite [G]

[CHORUS]
What’s that [D]form there in the [C]dark? [G]
Just a [D]pine tree in the [C]park? [G]
[D] [C] ~ [Am]
Oh, let me not be mad, insane
Methinks I [D]see thee, [G]Jane [C] [D] [G] [C] [D]

[VERSE 3]
[G]When I finally think it through, [C]finally master [D]my confusion
[G]Naughty shadows bend askew, [C]charging through my [D]grand illusion [C]
Who’s there, who goes, who’s [D]going? My involuntary [C]words
Was it just the winds soft [D]blowing, or nocturnal flocks of [C]birds?
Was it just the hesi[D]tation of a deer before it [C]fled
Was it my imagi[D]nation, or was Jane somewhere ahead? [G]

[CHORUS]
A startled "[D]Hey”, a faint "Good[C]bye” [G]
Then a[D]way, away she’ll [C]fly [G]
[D] [C] ~ [Am]
Words, words, mere words remain
Methinks I [D]see thee, [G]Jane [C] [D] [G] [C] [D]

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G]

[VERSE 4]
[G]High above the city streets, [C]perched upon a [D]window sill
A[G]bove the night-time city beats, [C]sang a lonely [D]whippoorwill [C]
I heard it’s melancholy [D]song, I know she heard it [C]too
She’d been hidden all a[D]long, oh, she saw me and with[C]drew
Has her minutes, has her [D]ways, but always a sur[C]vivor
Plays a part to make her [D]plays, she knows what she’s alive for [G]

[CHORUS]
To hide and [D]seek or seek and [C]hide [G]
Through windows [D]sneak, through locks un[C]tried [G]
[D] [C] ~ [Am]
What light shines through yon window pane?
Methinks I [D]see thee, [G]Jane [C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [C]

[INTERLUDE]
Woah-[G]oh-[D]oh [C]
Woah-[G]oh-[D]oh [C]
Woah-[G]oh-[D]oh [C]
Woah-[G]oh-[D]oh [G]

[CHORUS]
Like a [D]lady, [C]like a child [G]
Always [D]shady, [C]always wild [G]
[D] [C] ~ [Am]
So foul and fair a day, deceives my brain
Methinks I [D]see [C]
Methinks I [D]see [C]
Methinks I [D]see thee, [G]Jane [C] [D] [G] [C] [D]
