Raccoon Song (with music by Will Fourt )

Am . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G
Raccoon tapping on the windowpane
D . . . . . . . . . . Am
Fuzzy beggar, growing tame
C . . . . . . . . . . . . . F
Evenings longer, midnights colder
. . . . G
My love and I
. . . . . G. . . . . Am. . . . D . F . E
Just a little bit older

Quarter moon above the trees
Wind blows softly, rustling leaves
Would you love me if I lost my hair?
No, my dear
And don't you dare

Chorus:
A. . . . . . F#m. . . . . . . . E
Before I die I want to know
. . . . . . E. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . F#m
All the winds and why they blow
. . . . . . F#m. . . . . . . . F#m
All the forests, every stream
. . . . . . . . F. . . . G
Why you smile
. . . . . . . . . Am. . . . D . F . E
When you dream

Dog curling by the potbelly stove
Whiskers peek from the old mouse hole
Grandma's quilt has a brand new patch
In the nest,
The egg will hatch

Rocking chair got a squeak again
Sniff the air, smells like rain
Horned owl hoots from out the wood
I believe
All life is good

Chorus
