The Whippoorwill

	  		

Intro: Am D  Am D    

  Am                    D 
Going through life the righteous way 
    Am                 D   
The only way so the preacher would say 
    Am              D    
You put me on the Jericho Road 
  Am                  D                          
Barefoot and smilin standing over here by the piano 


        C      B  Am    G           F 
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing 
      C   B  Am   G       F             
She sang my song and she called me my name 
E 
And I hung my head in shame.  



Am D   Am  D 

      Am                             D 
You sewed my years together like a patchwork quilt 
      Am                          D    
Your bougenvie is bloomed yea it never will 
     Am                     D          
The lessons I remember and some that I forgot 
      Am                        D            
are precious and pure now like one honeysuckle drop 


         C     B  Am     G          F   
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing 
         C   B   Am   G   F 
Yes she sang my song and called me by name 
E 
And I hung my head in shame

I sing my song with the Whippoorwill in a sweet high harmony

Though I know just What went with her, she's always here with me   Always here with me 


         C     B  Am     G          F   
Well I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing 
         C   B   Am   G   F 
Yes she sang my song and called me by name 
E 
And I hung my head in shame
