Anthem
(Lord/Evans)
From "The Book of Taliesyn"; 1968
Am Am D E Am C F
When the night winds softly blow through my open window
Dm E Am C F Dm E7
then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Am Am D E Am C F
Now the night winds softly blow sadness to tomorrow
Dm E Am C F
bringing tears to eyes so tired
Dm E7 E7
Eyes I thought could cry no more
Chorus:
A Cm# F# F#(or E) D
If the day would only come then you might just appear
Cm# Bm G D
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand
A E D E
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)
A E D E
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh
A D Cm# F#
To see if you are laughing or crying

A D A Bm E A Am Dm E
When the night winds softly blow
Am Am D E Am C F
In my dark and whispering room Memories still bring me
Dm E Am C F Dm E7
a numbness to my feelings Take my hand and brush my brow
Am Am D E Am C F
In the warm and fevered dark Heart is madly beating
Dm E Am C F
My crazy thoughts are burning
Dm E7 E7
When the night winds softly blow
Chorus:
A Cm# F# F# (or E) D
If the day would only come then you might just appear
Cm# Bm G D
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand
A E D E
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)
A E D E
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh
A D Cm# F#
To see if you are laughing or crying
A D A Bm E A Am Dm E
When the night winds softly blow
