[Verse 1]
Gm
Well I’m running down this road
Gm                   C
A hundred miles from home
C                      Bb           Gm
We quarreled like true lovers often will
Gm
And I still recall the shame
Gm                          C
Thought I heard her call my name
C                   Bb
But it was nothing—nothing but a
   Gm
whippoorwill
 
 
[Chorus 1]
F                             Gm
Dark clouds, lightning in the air
    Bb             Eb            Bb
The rain was softly falling as I brushed
         F     Dm
away her hair

[Verse 2]
Gm
She said we had to part, even though she
        C
held my heart
C                  Bb              Gm
And to this day, I know she always will
Gm
It was such a dreadful sight, but she’s
Gm             C
peaceful there tonight
C                    Bb          Gm
Lying in the ground so cold and still
 
 
[Chorus 2]
F                      Gm
I couldn’t let her walk away
     Bb             Eb        Bb
From everything she promised on our
        F     Dm
wedding day

[Verse 3]
     Gm
Now I’m running every day, but I’ll never
    C
get away
C                      Bb
From the rhythm of her voice, it haunts me
Gm
still
Gm
As I turned my gun around
Gm                           C
Thought I heard that mournful sound
C                   Bb
But it was nothing—nothing but a
   Gm
whippoorwill
 
 
[Chorus 3]
F                             Gm
Dark clouds, lightning in the air
    Bb             Eb            Bb
The rain was softly falling as I brushed
         F     Dm
away her hair
