           Em                 C/G     Em 
It was so late and she'd be sleeping 
                     D/F# 
He came through her home town 
                            C/G 
With the moonlight on the crossroads 
                             G    C/G  G 
And the green light shining down 
         Em                    C/G     Em 
And the bell at the railroad crossing 
                   D/F# 
And the horn from far away 
                      C/G 
And his Silver Eagle passing 
                           (G) 
Half a mile from where she lay

        Em            C/G   Em 
At his feet a sea of faces 
                           D/F# 
Make devotions with their love 
                                  C/G   Cmaj7/G  C/G 
Clap their hands and plead their cases 
                          G 
Call for blessings from above 
                  Em            C/G     Em 
Like the rolling waves forever massing 
                              D/F# 
To crash and foam and creep away 
                    C/G 
And the Silver Eagle passing 
                        (G) 
Half a mile from where she lay

             Em           C/G        Em 
Road signs flow into the headlights 
                        D/F# 
Whisper names and fall behind 
                            C/G      Cmaj7/G 
He finds some honor in the darkness 
                              G 
Hopes for grace and peace of mind 
                  Em               C/G    Em 
And he thinks of how they'd lay together 
                                  D/F# 
He'd run his fingers through her hair 
                         C/G 
And he wonders if she'll ever 
                          (G) 
Come to know that he was there
