Anthem

(Lord/Evans)

From "The Book of Taliesyn", 1968

Am         C                F       E7             Am      C     F  
When the night winds softly blow    through my open window     
E7                Am         C     F     F     E7      E7  
then I start to remember     the girl that brought me joy     
Am         C               F       E7         Am      C     F  
Now the night winds softly blow    sadness to tomorrow     
                  E7       Am   C  
bringing tears to eyes so tired     
F       F       E7     E7  
Eyes I thought could cry no more  
     
Chorus:     
A      Cm#            Bm7       Bm7              D  
If the day would only come then you might just appear     
       Cm#                 Bm       Bm               A  
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand     
A          A       E     Bm7       Bm7  
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)     
   Bm7          A        E    Bm7  
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh     
Bm7               A      D    Cm# Bm  
To see if you are laughing    or  crying     
A        D     Bm    Bm     A  
When the night winds softly blow     
In my dark and whispering room  
Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings  
Take my hand and brush my brow  
In the warm and fevered dark  
Heart is madly beating  
My crazy thoughts are burning  
When the night winds softly blow     
If the day would only come  
Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone  
When I reached out my hand  
If I could see you  
If only I could see you  
To see if you are laughing or crying  
When the night winds softly blow
