Chords for Will Oldham - Jolly Five (64) [Peel Session]

[F#m] On the slope of the creek, [A] I asked her,
_ Where are you [D] going, _ hiding [F#m] your flashlight with your coat? _
_ _ _ _ _
As my house is all [A] dark and empty, I said,
[D] _
_ _ _ Lend me [F#m]
your light. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [E]
She raised her dark eyes for a moment,
_ And looked at [D] my face in the dusk. _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] I've come to the creek, she said,
To shine my light [Em] on [D] the animals in the water.
[F#m] When it gets [E] dark, _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
it got dark,
So [A] I asked her again,
_ If [D] she'd bring her [E] light to [F#m] my house. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ As there were no animals [A] in the water,
_ _ There [D] was nothing _ [E] living, [F#m] _
moving. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] She said, I'm gonna shine it on the sky,
Eventually [Em] it will [D]
reach a star. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ [D] _ [G] [E] And I watched her shine her light, _
Uselessly into _ [D]
the sky.

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ In _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] the moonless _ gloom [A]
of midnight,
I asked [D] her again,
Why she still held the light [F#m] so close to her chest. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
As my house was still [A]
dark and empty,
_ I said, _
[D] _ _ _ _ Lend me [F#] your light. _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[E] I needed to walk home with,
She said, I can't see [D] in the dark like a cat. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] And I watched her light get lost among the _ [Em] trees,
[D] And into the lights [F#m] of the house. _ _
