CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: [C] [F] [C] [G] [Ddim7] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
The last time I [F]saw him, he'd been [C]swallowed by the [G]wood
I'd have [Am]followed if I [F]could, he'd have [C]stayed had he [G]wanted
Had [C]he the [F]desire or [C]had I the [G]will
I would [Am]be with him [F]still, but in[C]stead he just [G]haunts me
I [F]knew when he [C]faded, I'd ne'er see him a[F]gain
His [Dm]laughter's [Dm7/C]embrace would no [F]more me sur[G]round
The [C]chill that went [F]through me, is the [C]chill wind that [G]blows
[Ddim7]Through the [Am]soft midnight [F]stillness of [G]Chilicote [C]town
INTERLUDE: [F] [C] [G] [Ddim7] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
The smell of the [F]blanket he [C]wrapped 'round my [G]shoulders
Comes [Am]back to me [F]now on a [C]faint wisp of [G]smoke
Comes [C]back with a [F]vengeance that [C]makes me re[G]member
Those [Am]nights 'round the [F]fire, when [C]fond words we [G]spoke
That [F]blanket was [C]woven in some shattered [F]village
That is [Dm]gone now for[Dm7/C]ever, may [F]never be [G]found
His [C]people are [F]scattered, their [C]fondest hopes [G]dashed
[Ddim7]He'd have [Am]been better [F]off here in [G]Chilicote [C]town
INTERLUDE: [F] [C] [G] [Ddim7] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
I knew from the [F]start [C]just where he [G]stood
A[Am]bout his in[F]tentions, there [C]was no mis[G]take
To [C]stay, meant his [F]dream, so [C]dear to his [G]heart
Was the [Am]one thing he [F]knew he must [C]somehow for[G]sake
He [F]just couldn't [C]see that the old ways were [F]passing
A [Dm]new wave was [Dm7/C]rising and [F]he would be [G]drowned
And [C]like it or [F]not, the [C]history's [G]written
[Ddim7]Not [Am]in the [F]forest, but in [G]Chilicote [C]town
INTERLUDE: [F] [C] [G] [Ddim7] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
There's sadness in [F]parting from [C]what we hold [G]dear
There's a [Am]danger in [F]staying for [C]fear we'll be [G]lost
One [C]half of us [F]wishes to [C]live out our [G]dreams
The [Am]other half [F]reckons and [C]counts out the [G]cost
Though [F]we may go [C]on to a far greater [F]glory
By [Dm]knowing where [Dm7/C]destiny is [F]sure to be [G]found
I [C]wish him no [F]ill, though I [C]wish him no [G]fame
Than [Ddim7]such [Am]fame as he'd [F]find here in [G]Chilicote [C]town
INTERLUDE: [F] [C] [G] [Ddim7] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
The last time I [F]saw him, he'd been [C]swallowed by the [G]wood
