Tom: C C F C F [Verse] C F Just a trace of gold in the leaves today C G Just a touch of grey in my hair Am Em The stream along this road F C Runs a little colder Dm Bb G There's a hint of a chill in the air C F C F The blue sky is fading into purple C F G Late afternoon is gliding to a close Am Em With my hands on the wheel F C I wonder how it feels Dm If you're the last bloom of the summer F Bb G Or the first autumn rose [Chorus] F C So I pull off this highway G C I drive the winding roads instead F C Thoughts of the bad years G Am Disappear 'cause up ahead F Em Off in the distance Am Em Is a strange and soothing sight Dm Mountains look like sleeping manatees F Bb G This cool September night F C I leave my car by the roadside G C And I hike up that hill F C Stars circle in slow motion here G Am As they always will F Em A million miles away Am Em From where I was this afternoon Dm F Bb G I wrap my misgivings in a tune Dm F G C Em While I'm shining my flashlight on the moon Dm F G I am shining my flashlight Dm Em It's gonna be a long long night Dm F G C F So I'm shining my flashlight on the moon [Outro] C F C F C F C F (fade out)
