1.       It's pretty cold for late September,

 

    the autumn wind is creeping in,

2.      I'll bet it's warm in California,

 

    I think it's time to hit the road,

A

    I just might call that band of gypsies,

E

    go searching for our pot of gold.

                       B7                                        A                          - E

    Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on.

 

     A                                                            E

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine,

           A                                                            E

I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time,

                                 B7                    A

where I could find a reason to be strong

                   B7                                       A                         - E ~

3.       Close the window, draw the curtains,

 

    you ain't the only one here hurtin'.

A

4.       You used to live to say you love me,

 

    now you got one foot out the door,

         A                                                            E

    I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine,

    I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time,

                             B7                   A

    when I need a reason to be strong.

 

     A                                                            E

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine,

              A                                                                        E
