September When It Comes by Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash


     September When It Comes


Tuning:Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Key:Ebm
Capo:no capo
 
D          Em             C       G
There's a cross above the baby's bed,
   D              Em
A Savior in her dreams.
     C              G
But she was not delivered then,
        D           Em
And the baby became me.
           Em               C        G
There's a light inside the darkened room,
   D               Em
A footstep on the stair.
C                G
A door that I forever close,
    D                     G
To leave those memories there.
C                      Am
So when the shadows link them,
C                Am
Into an evening sun.
               Em            C           G
First there's summer, then I'll let you in.
D                  Em
September when it comes.
 
Em                C             G
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
D                  Em
Close my eyes and see.
     C               G
And fall into the heart and arms,
D                     Em
Of those who wait for me.
                 C         G
I cannot move a mountain now;
D                Em
I can no longer run.
C               G
I cannot be who I was then:
      D            G
In a way, I never was.
  C                     Am
I watch the clouds go sailing;
  C                    Am
I watch the clock and sun.
       Em             C       G
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,
D                  Em
September when it comes.
C                   Am
When the shadows link them,
C                  Am
And burn away the clouds.
          Em              C
They will fly me, like an angel, 
G      D                Em
To a place where I can rest.
C                       G
When this begins, I'll let you know,
D                  Em
September when it comes.
