[Verse]
E      B                  A                E
Got my window open in the southern cross hotel
E            B             A         E
It's been my longest night i can tell
E      B              A   E
By the way i'm not surprised
E          B                 A   E
To see the desert cover over paradise
E               B                    A             E
Now count every rhododendron in this cool mountain light
E      B                  A           E
I made more mistakes than that just tonight
E             B                       A                E
So all of you folks in heaven not too busy ringing the bell
E       B                  A          E
Some of us down here ain't doing very well
E                   B                   A                E
Some of us with our windows open in the southern cross motel

[Chorus]
E   B A   E
Still waitin
E   B A   E
Still waitin

[Verse]
E          B              A    E
For you to sing that song again
E                B             A            E
The one you were singin at the very fall of man
E        B                 A                  E
It ain't hallelujah but it might as well have been
E       B                A E
Sing it brother one more time
E       B                A E
Sing it brother one more time
E       B               A E
Sing it sister one more time
E       B               A E
Sing it sister one more time
E        B             A          E
Once for everybody who got left behind

[Chorus]
          E   G#m
Whip-poor-will
A            E
Oh whip-poor-will
          E   G#m
Whip-poor-will
         E   G#m
Whip-poor-will
A            E
Oh whip-poor-will
          E   G#m
Whip-poor-will
          E   G#m
Whip-poor-will
A            E
Oh whip-poor-will
          E   G#m
Whip-poor-will

[Outro]
                   B                     A                E  B E
Looks like I never made it back from the southern cross hotel
