It was so l[Em]ate and she?d be sl[C/G]eeping[Em]
He came through her h[D/F#]ome town
With the moonlight on the cr[C/G]ossroads
And the green light shining d[G]own[C/G] [G]
And the b[Em]ell at the railroad cr[C/G]ossing[Em]
And the horn from f[D/F#]ar away
And his Silver Eagle p[C/G]assing
Half a mile from where she [(G)]lay

At his f[Em]eet a sea of f[C/G]aces[Em]
Make devotions with their l[D/F#]ove
Clap their hands and plead their c[C/G]ases[CMaj7/G] [C/G]
Call for blessings from ab[G]ove
Like the rolling w[Em]aves forever m[C/G]assing[Em]
To crash and foam and creep aw[D/F#]ay
And the Silver Eagle p[C/G]assing
Half a mile from where s[(G)]he lay

Road signs fl[Em]ow into the h[C/G]eadlights[Em]
Whisper names and fall b[D/F#]ehind
He finds some honor in the d[C/G]arkness[CMaj7/G]
Hopes for grace and peace of m[G]ind
And he thinks of h[Em]ow they?d lay tog[C/G]ether[Em]
He?d run his fingers through her h[D/F#]air
And he wonders if she?ll [C/G]ever
Come to know that he was t[(G)]here
