Verse
D# Fm G#
Lie awake in the morning light, I couldn’t sleep through the easy night
D#
It's hard to rest from a worried mind
Fm G# D# Fm G#
imagining what I'd like to find
D# Fm G#
your voice is ringing in my ears, I haven't heard for three long years
D#
‘cause you flew on down to Chapel Hill
Fm G# D# Fm G#
now I hear your call through the whippoorwill
[Chorus]
Cm D#
Could it be you trying to say to me?
G# A#
you're still with me baby, I'm still here
Cm D#
Had to fly but don't wonder why
G# A#
‘cause some things due to you that they come in time
[Verse 2]
D# Fm G#
We used to sing those Broadway tunes, Carole King, Johnny and June
D#
we would stoke a little fire and curl on up baby
Fm G# D# Fm G#
just the two of us
D#
Now I don’t know why I turned away
Fm G#
cause now I look back to the good ol’ days
D# Fm G#
but a part of you is with me still ‘cause I hear your call,
D# Fm G#
through the whippoorwill
[Chorus]
Cm D#
Could it be you trying to say to me?
G# A#
you're still with me baby, I'm still here
Cm D#
Had to fly but don't wonder why
G# A#
‘cause some things due to you that they come in time
[Verse 3]
D# Fm G#
We used to sing those Broadway tunes, Carole King, Johnny and June
D#
we would stoke a little fire and curl on up baby
Fm G# D# Fm G#
just the two of us
D# Fm G#
And other birds might flock to me with all their songs and melodies
D# Fm G#
I love them all, I do, it's true but when I hear that call
D# Fm G#
I know it's you
[Outro]
D# Fm G#
your voice is ringing in my ears, I haven't heard for three long years
D#
‘cause you flew on down to Chapel Hill
Fm G# D# Fm G#
now I hear your call through the whippoorwill
D# Fm G# D#
through the whippoorwill
