Capo 1st Fret

D      A                    G
If I:  wrote a song: by my window
D                       A                           G
And the bars: were the strings: of my soul

C                      G                     Am
What words: could I write: for an echo
C                G                                   Am
Because I: have been ten years: alone

D                            A                        G
Th­ere are things: in my solitude: warming
D                            A                    G
Like the sounds: I remember: from home

D          A                       G
Koala: and kangaroo: sunsets      

                        
C                       G                                Am
But the lights: have gone out here: once more
C                      G                                 Am
But the lights: have gone out here: once more  
                  
D                      A                   G
I hear morse: on the pipes: it is morning
D                       A                     G
Dot dash dot: dot dash dot: they’re calling    
                  
C                         G                    Am
But it’s saying: there will be: no parole  
C                         G                    Am
But it’s saying: there will be: no parole

D            A                     G
So if  I:  wrote a song: by my window
D                       A                          G
And the bars: were the strings: of my soul  

C                     G                        Am
It would say: I will be here: forever
C                     G                        Am
It would say: I will be here: forever

C                         G                                       Am
Because the lights: have gone out here: once more  
C                         G                                      Am
Because the lights: have gone out here: once more
C                         G                                      Am
Because the lights: have gone out here: once more.
