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