 Verse 1 Chords:
I  came out from under  her warm  sheets
 Into the brisk  late  October
If  only for  one last  hope
 I wanted my time  with you  to be over
 use verse 1 chords
 I’m staring up into the sky
 While all the raining is pouring down
 I’m reaching out for your help
 But evil beings hold me backwards
 All shapes and shadows  move in  and out
 And hover round  my bed
 Voices arrive  and disappear,
 I want to talk  to them
 Darkness disintegrates  I’m rising;
 I’m rising toward  a light
 A light leading over  hills and meadows

 Verse 3+4: Use Verse 1 chords
 I’ve risen up from the dead
 With the burning leaves of autumn
 If only for one last chance
 That all of whom have been defeated
 To put on my father’s wool coat
 To smell my mother’s fragrances and perfumes
 To find my young brothers and sisters
 To never leave or let them go
 Use chorus 1 chords
 Houses adorned so beautifully
 The Marin headlands song
 Lost verses well up my eyes and ears
 The lone mandolin strums
 On Tamalpais warm spring
 The many places we
 Lay down in sleepy hidden shadows
----,  then ----
 I see you well  and clear, deep in the moonlight  dear
 Your radiant august  eyes, they are the suns  that rise
 They are the light  that blinds,

 They end these lost verses
 Verse 5+6: Use Verse 1 chords
 I came up from under the ocean
 Evaporated sea salt water
 A mist above the skyline
 I haunt the streets of San Francisco
 Watch over loved ones and old friends
 I see them trough their living room windows
 Shaken by fear and worries
 I want them to know how I love them so
 Foghorns would sound in waking
 Is it my voice you hear?
 Footsteps are moving across the floor
 And you know I’m here
 The afternoon carries up from the hills and you are well and near
 To fall into the light I follow
 Final Bridge:
 I feel oh  so near, when morning doves  appear
 And ghosts of April  ring, echo the  refrain
 Soon finding  a place, in these lost verses
 They fill the foggy  day, they hide the hills  away
 That steal our time,  they are the picturesque  night
 The casting city  lights
  ,  then ---  x2
 On the bay flowing into the ocean glowing
