Gillian Welch - Fair September Chords

[Intro]
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G           F    G         C
It was on a fair September night
        G     Dm      G
That my lover came to me
G                F            G             C
I said, "Darling girl, you're strange to me now
    G        Dm      G
Not like you used to be"
G          F        G          C
I remember you as a beautiful rose
    G      Dm      G
Out in the morning light
G            F         G          C
But now your cheeks so silent and pale
    G        Dm      G
And you only walk at night
 
 
[Interlude]
G  F  G  C  G  Dm  G
 
 
[Chorus]
   G        F      G           C
Oh yes, the sun is hateful and sore
       G      Dm         G
On the racing streets at noon
G        F       G              C
And so I wait alone through the day
    G        Dm      G
And like the jasmine bloom
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                F          G        C
Then she left me there as I lay in a thirst
     G     Dm         G
That water could not quell
G                 F       G           C
And her voice was sad and soft in her throat
       G       Dm       G
As she bid me last farewell
 
 
[Interlude]
G  F  G  C  G  Dm  G
 
 
[Chorus]
    G       F      G           C
And now the sun is hateful and sore
       G       Dm         G
On the racing streets at noon
G        F      G               C
And so I wait alone through the day
    G        Dm      G
And like the jasmine bloom
