[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
