Chords for The Watchman's Gone - Gordon Lightfoot (Vinyl Restoration)

_ _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Just like birds [D] of a feather _
[A] We two have followed the [F#m] golden sun
It _
[A] _ [E] feels so good
[G] Oh, [D] when the [A] watchman's gone
If _ _ [E] I give [D] you a rose, buddy
[A] Would you please bury it [F#m] in the fields?
_ _ [A] _ [E] I've seen a rose
[G] _ [D] Watching it all [A] fall down _ _
_ [E] There's a train down [D] at the station _
[A] It's come to carry my [F#m] bones away
Two [A] _ [E] engines on, [G] _ [D] twenty-one [A] coaches long
[E] End to end, [G] _ [D] twenty-one [A] coaches thin
[E] The watchman's out, [G] _ [D] kicking the thumbs [A] about
If _ [E] I wait for [D] the right _ moment
[A] You can bet I'll climb [F#m] aboard on the sea
I've [A] _ [E] done it before, [G] _ [D] I know I can do it [A] in my sleep _
The [E] watchman's out, [G] _ [D] kicking the [A] thumbs about
The [E] watchman's out, [G] _ [D] kicking your dreams [A] about
As _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] I leave [D] you in the _ sunset
[A] Got one more nothing [F#m] I'd like to say
You [A] _ [E] don't know me, [G] _ the son of the [D] sea, am [A] I? _ _
_ [E] Yes, I say to [D] you, my _ brother
[A] If you live to follow the [F#m] golden sun _ _
[A] You [E] better beware, [G] _ [D] know when the watchman's [A] always there
_ _ _ [E] If you find me [D] feeding _ [A] _ daisies
Please turn my face up [F#m] to the sky
_ _ [A] And [E] leave me be, [G] _ [D] watching the moon [A] roll by
[E] Whatever I was, [G] you'd know [D] it was all [A] because
I've been [E] on the town, [G] washing [D] the bullshit [A] _ down _
The [E] watchman's out, _ [G] kicking [D] your dreams [A] about
It feels [E] so good, _ [G] know when [D] the [A] watchman's gone
It's like [E] a song, [G] know when [D] the watchman's gone
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
