Intro- Em

       D                    G          D               C
I wrote this once before, long before the summer
  D                     G                  D                      Em
You were then a student and we were dark as angels
A                       G     A                   C
We were in the east, working to the west
A                            G/B                 A                        C
The west was looking south, and the south she had no pity

 G/B               C
But last night I dreamed
  A                  C
and you were always in it
 G/B                                     C
there were hopes and plans and schemes
 A                               C
and the town was full of winners
G/B                 C         A              C
Oh brother, oh sister, this changing light
       G/B                    C
Has lighted things so differently
     A                      Cadd9
Has lighted things so differently


I wrote this once before
And we were all then working
We thought we'd stop the flow
Of cruel and heartless women
If I'd known this then
What would these wings have done
They'd have beat and flapped and flown
And not done and not done


But last night I dreamed
and you were always in it
there were hopes and plans and schemes
and the town was full of winners
Oh brother, oh sister, this changing light
Has lighted things so differently
Has lighted things so differently

   D                    G         D                 C  repeat til fade
I wrote it on my hand ,I kept it in the dark
I never ran it through my hair ,I stuffed it in my pocket
I wrote this on a journey ,All the way from Spain
Where our fellows fought ,And never came back again
