The song is in F minor, but has been transposed here to A minor for piano simplicity. C I was just a boy Am My father seemed a mountain then C F With a voice that could shake the seas C Am My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders E F And he said she was still watching over me C My brother was home Am Just returned on army leave C F Told his stories with a distant stare C And as it snowed Am The wind was howling through the trees E F C And I spent my night just listening by the fire C, Am, Em, F, C, Am, E, F, E, Em, E, Em Em F My hands move the creases from my brow C Soft as a breath G It's like a feather Em F I dreamed of a lonely voice that night C Quiet as death G Outside my window Em F It sang a sad and lovely tune C Clear as a bell G Soft as a shiver Em F It said, I want you all the time Fm C It said, I want you all the time C, Em, C, Em, C, Em, C, Em C Em Goodbye bad thoughts C Em I'm safe under covers C Em So goodbye bad thoughts C Em 'Cause I'm safe under covers C Now I can see you again Am, C, F, C, Am, E, F, Am, C, F, C, Am, E, F,
