Verse: 
    C              G            F                     C 
I swear I heard a bird calling high in the chestnut trees 
                 G           F                C 
The sun was so bright, that bird I couldn?t see 
                    G      F                     C 
No matter where I stood I couldn?t see beak or wing 
                         G       F                C 
Just burning, blinding leaves, still and silent trees 

 
          C                E   
Were you with me then my friend?  
 F               C 
Are you with me now? 
                           E   
Were you with me then my friend?  
 F               Fm  C 
Are you with me now? 


Verse: 
  C                G         F             C 
When that cement truck, the mixer turning slow 
             G        F              C 
Drove right past me dripping in the road 
F                   C  G/B     Am 
That swollen body spinning in circles 
    Dm                    Am    F         C 
I stopped and watched it roll, roll and groan 

 
          C                E   
Were you with me then my friend?  
 F               C 
Are you with me now? 
                           E   
Were you with me then my friend?  
 F               Fm  C 
Are you with me now? 


Verse: 
         C              G      F           C 
When I swam alone that night, late summer dusk 
                      G         F              C 
The air so warm and still, the water wide and dark 
F                                  C          G/B        Am 
Something brushed against me, I splashed and kicked in fright 
Dm               Am       F          C    G 
Such cold hands upon me, underwater vines 


          C                E   
Were you with me then my friend?  
 F               C 
Are you with me now? 
                           E   
Were you with me then my friend?  
 F               Fm   
Are you with me now?
