Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- - x 2

 I was born in the heart of a hurricane season

 In the house where my mamma was raised

 That old September wind feels just like a long lost friend

 And I...

(Chorus:)

 I want to run through those cottonwood trees

 Fall asleep in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves

 And in every wind that blows there's a song of letting go

  (C-]- x 2)

It's not goodbye, it's hello

 When we met underneath the blue skies of summer

 And those summer skies turn into fall

 That sweet September wind made us so much more than friends

 One Night...

(Chorus:)

 And we ran through those cottonwood trees

 We made love in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves

 And in every wind that blows there's an innocence that knows

 It's not goodbye, it's hello

 In the moment that one thing ends

 Is the same time that one begins

 And return as we must

 We are ashes to dust, amen.

Solo

 When the days of my youth have all faded

 And the memories are all that remain

 Let that old September wind take me back to where I've been

 So I...

(Chorus:)

 I can run through those cottonwood trees

 And remember the smell of those fresh fallen leaves

 Now in every wind that blows there's a part of me that knows

( - - x 2)

It's not goodbye, it's hello
