VERSE:
I sw[C]ear I heard a b[G]ird calling h[F]igh in the chestnut tr[C]ees
The sun was so br[G]ight, that b[F]ird I couldn't se[C]e
No matter where I st[G]ood I c[F]ouldn't see beak or wi[C]ng
Just burning, blinding le[G]aves, st[F]ill and silent tr[C]ees
CHORUS:
Were you w[C]ith me then my fr[E]iend?
A[F]re you with me n[C]ow?
Were you with me then my fr[E]iend?
A[F]re you with me n[Fm]ow?[C]
VERSE:
Wh[C]en that cement tr[G]uck, the m[F]ixer turning s[C]low
Drove right p[G]ast me dr[F]ipping in the r[C]oad
[F]That swollen body sp[C]inn[G/B]ing in c[Am]ircles
I st[Dm]opped and watched it r[Am]oll, r[F]oll and gr[C]oan
CHORUS:
Were you w[C]ith me then my fr[E]iend?
A[F]re you with me n[C]ow?
Were you with me then my fr[E]iend?
A[F]re you with me n[Fm]ow?[C]
VERSE:
When I sw[C]am alone that n[G]ight, l[F]ate summer d[C]usk
The air so warm and st[G]ill, the w[F]ater wide and d[C]ark
[F]Something brushed against me, I spl[C]ashed and k[G/B]icked in fr[Am]ight
[Dm]Such cold hands u[Am]pon me, u[F]nderwater v[C]ines[G]
CHORUS:
Were you w[C]ith me then my fr[E]iend?
A[F]re you with me n[C]ow?
Were you with me then my fr[E]iend?
A[F]re you with me n[Fm]ow?
