To follow you softly in the cold mountain air
Verse 2:
Am D7 G Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am D7 G F C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
F C
They do not
F G
Know you anymore
Interlude: Am / D7 / G / Em / Am /

Dear shadow alive and well

How does the body die
C D7 G
You tell me everything, anything true
Verse 3:

In the town one morning I went
Am D7 G F C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
F C F G
I don't see anybody that dear to me
