INTRO:
F Fm C

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

CHORUS:
     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

CHORUS:
     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

CHORUS:
     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?
