G Gadd9 G Gadd9 [Verse 1] G Coldest night of the winter, working up my farewell Em In the middle of everything under no particular spell G I am dreaming of the mountains where the children learn the stars Em Clouds roll in from Nebraska, dark chords on a big guitar C G D My restlessness is long gone, I stand here like an old jack pine Am Em C G But I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter, a friend of a friend of mine C G Friend of a friend of mine [Verse 2] G I can't believe your hands and mouth, did all that to me Em Are so daily naked, for all the world to see G That thunderstorm in Michigan, I never will forget Em We shook right with the thunder, with the pounding rain got wet C G D Where did you turn when you turned from me, with your arms across'd your chest Am Em C G Oh I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter, I saw her in the great northwest C G The great northwest [Verse 3] G Would she have said it was the wrong time, if I had found her then Em I don't want too much, a field across the road and a few good friends G She used to come and see me, but she was always there and gone Em Even the very longest love don't last very long C G D She'd stand there in my doorway, smoothing out her dress Am Em C G And say "this life is a thump-ripe melon, so sweet and such a mess" C G Such a mess [Verse 4] G I wanted to get to know you, but you said you were shy Em I would have followed you anywhere but hello rolled into goodbye G I just stood there watching, as you walked along the fence Em Beware of them that look at you as an experience C G D You're back out on the highway, with your poems of city heat Am Em C G And I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter, here on my own side street C G On my old side street [Verse 5] G The murderer who lived next door, seemed like such a normal guy Em If you try to follow what they shove at us, you run out of tears to cry G I heard a man speak quietly, I listened for a while Em He spoke from his heart to my woe and then he bowed and smiled C G D What is real but compassion, as we move from birth to death Am Em C G Oh I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter, and I'm running out of breath [Verse 6] G Spring'll come back I know it will, and it will do its best Em So useful so endangered, like a lion or a breast G I think about my children, when I look at any child's face Em And pray that we will find a way to get with all this amazing grace C G D It's so cold out there tonight, so stormy I can hardly see Am Em C G And I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter, and I guess I always will be C G I always will be
