Intro: G G G G
G G/F# G G/F# (x2)
G G/F# Em D
Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track
G G/F# Em D
Oh, I've been wanting to see you
G G/F# Em D
Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
G G/F# Em D
Oh, I've been longing to see you
G G/F# Em D
You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time
G G/F# Em D
You don't know how much I need you
G G/F# Em D
Once I feel the downy snow, the only home I've ever known
G G/F# Em D
I'll hold you close when I see you
C D C
There's no way I could let you go
D C
There's no way I could let you go
D C
There's no way I could let you go
G
And it seems to me
C
We sing soft and low
G C
Such a sweet hello......

Now hold me close while I breathe you
C D C
There's no way I could let you go

There's no way I could let you go

There's no way I could let you go

And it seems to me

We sing soft and low

Such a sweet hello......
