[Verse 1]
Am
You remember sittin’ there
Gsus4/B
One rainy night in a wellused chair
C G
Tellin’ me how well you used to dance
Am
The western wind will come again
Gsus4/B
And make you feel like you did
C G
When all those cowboys didn’t stand a chance

[Verse 2]
Am Gsus4/B
Said his life took most of you, gave you twice and the day was through
C G
You said it all turned out awfully fair
Am Gsus4/B
So tell me tales of all the times and all the seasons you got by
C G
Breathin’ in that cold November air
Am Gsus4/B
When no one was there

[Bridge]
C
No one was there
G Am Gsus4/B C G
When no one was there

[Verse 3]
Am
Two kids ‘bout twentythree
Gsus4/B
And the sunsets you’ll never see
C G
You were yellin’ “supper” from the yard
Am
And they grew old and sailed away
Gsus4/B
Called you on phones from far away
C G
Wrote you novels on postcards

[Verse 4]
Am
And all you ever wanted
Gsus4/B
Was to see your children fly
C G
Maybe one day they’re a star
Am
But there ain’t no leavin’
Gsus4/B
This small town this evenin’
C G
You can’t even drive your own car
Am Gsus4/B
Through November air

[Bridge]
C G
Through November air
Am Gsus4/B C
Through November air

[Chorus]
G F C
Dear Mama, how’s it goin’?
G Am
Was the weather fair last week?
F C
Dear Mama, they were wonderful
G Am
All the sights you’ll never see
F C
And dear Mama, if I could hold you, I’d grab you by the arms
G Am
Tell you what it means
F C
You could take a worthless poor boy from the flats
G
And make him mean something

[Verse 5]
Am
Tell us what you wanted to
Gsus4/B
In all we did, we needed you
C
Your dreams were too small to care
G Am
But I’m always reminded
Gsus4/B
If you look hard, you’ll find it
C G
Memory gives warmth to right here
Am
Through November air
