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