September Song chords

CAPO: 4th Fret

INTRO: [D] [Em] [G] [A] [D] [Em] [G] [A] [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [D]

The wild geese flew over[Em]head in Pennsyl[G]vania [A]
I [D]thought of a few choice [Em]words I ought to [G]send you [A]
You [Em]know if I thought it was [A]right
I'd pre[Em]tend that you were [G]here with me to[A]night [D]

The ghost of a frontier [Em]lady walked through the [G]tall rooms [A]
Of an [D]old Ontario [Em]farmhouse under a [G]full moon [A]
We [Em]sat in the kitchen all [A]night
[Em]Drinking good whiskey un[A]til the morning [D]light

[CHORUS]
Did you [Em]ever think I would [A]go
Out on this [D]road[G] you told me I would [A]take
Long a[D]go? [Em] [A] [D]

On a Roanoke back-road, [Em]laughing beside a [G]cold stove [A]
We sang for [D]old black Francis and [Em]Bessie, songs about [G]true love [A]
All the [Em]songs I ever kn[A]ew
[Em]Came back to me and [G]brought me back to [A]you

The [D]leaves were turning, we [Em]felt the summer [G]passing [A]
Knowing [D]things were changing, [Em]even without [G]asking [A]
Like a [Em]photograph faded in [A]time
In a [Em]cabin lost in the [A]Blue Ridge mountain [D]pines

INSTRUMENTAL: [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [D]

The wind is blowing [Em]cold across the [G]bay [A]
And [D]Massachusetts [Em]seems so far a[G]way [A]
From the [Em]California ti[A]des
The [Em]rolling hills and [G]roads I used to [A]ride

I'll be [D]leaving in the [Em]morning, seeing [G]faces [A]
Of [D]friends I leave be[Em]hind in all these [G]places [A]
And [Em]though I'm coming [A]home
I'm [Em]not coming back to Cali[A]fornia all a[D]lone

[CHORUS]
You [Em]always knew I would [A]go
Out [D]on this road you [G]took yourself o[A]nce
So long a[D]go
