[Eb] Lord of wind [Db] and rain,
[Ab] [Gb] see me guardian of the underpasses.
[Ab]
[Fm] Where am [Db] I [Bbm] when it's light out [Ab] of time?

[F] Where [G] am I, [Em] red [Am] summer's last?

Where [Eb] am I, when it's [Db] over?
Through
[Ab] [Ebm] the trees,
[Gb] head [Ab] for the sun, [Ebm] can't find the path back to the [Fm] main road.
[Gb] [Ab]
[Db] See [Ab] me, Lord of the [Db] promised sky,
[Ab] [Ebm] see me keeper of the source [Fm] [Gb] code.
[Ab]
[Fm] Red [Db] black to the [Ab] intervention.
