Played one time only, Edmonton, AB, 9 Oct 2012.

The passage at “shine the way they should” is played differently from verse to verse: Am/e as noted, but even C/e or Em are possible.

C/e . . . Fmaj7 . . .  C/g . . . F
          C/e            
Won't you reach out, love, and touch me,
       G
Let me hold you for a while?
       Am             /g
I been all around the world
          D7/f#            F6
Oh, how I long to see you smile
          C/e
There's a shadow on the moon,
        G
and the waters here below
       Am/e
do not shine the way they should
      F
And I love you just in case you didn't know
       C    /b
Let it go
       Am             /g              F          /f#
Let it happen like it happened once before
              C/g         E(m)         
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone
       Am           /g 
And if you do not believe me
         F
Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

C/e . . . Fmaj7 . . .  C/e . . . F
Won't you lie down by me, baby
Run your fingers through my hands?
I been all around the town
And I still don't understand.
Is it me or is it you?
Or the shadows of a dream?
Is it wrong to be in love?
Could it be the finest love I've ever seen?
Set it free
Let it happen like it happened once before
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe me
Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door
Please kiss me gently, darling
Where that river runs away
From the mountains in the spring time
On a blue and windy day
Where there's beauty all around
As the shades of night grow deep
When the morning stars grow dim
They will find us in the shadows fast asleep
Let it go
Let it happen like it happened once before
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe me
Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door
