As recorded by Presley Haile

Intro
[C]
Verse 1
[C]
Ol’ winter he’s been teasing us
[Dm]
‘Till he moved in overnight
[F]
On the back of a blue northern
[C]
Clouds done buried all the light
Verse 2
[C]
I’m missing the scent of cedars baking
[Dm]
Under an August sun
[F]
And cicadas singing sermons
[C]
‘Till that heat of day is done
Chorus
[Am]
Welcome back
[C]
Welcome back my only
[F]
Long time lonely friend
[F]
It takes the dying of the daisies
[C]
For you to circle ‘round my door again
Verse 3
[C]
The wind it hums through hollow limbs
[Dm]
As you guide me towards the bridge
[F]
I’m stamping boot-heels in your footprints
[C]
Ready to take that dive again
Verse 4
[C]
Familiarity will be the death of me
[Dm]
I’d build a cell of stacked up stone
[F]
Lock myself away in silence
[C]
All for the comfort of what I’ve known
Chorus
[Am]
Welcome back
[C]
Welcome back my only
[F]
Long time lonely friend
[F]
I’d follow you into the Leon
[C]
Let the frost bite cleanse my skin
[Instrumental Break]
[Am] [G] [C] [Dm] [F] [C]
[Dm] [F] [C]
Chorus
[Am]
Welcome back
[C]
Welcome back my only
[F]
Long time lonely friend
[F]
You know you alway seem to find me
[C]
When the rooster’s crow ascends
Outro
[Am]
Ground beneath me cracks
[C]
I fall back into
[F]
That cold and dark descend
[F]
So welcome back
[Fm]
Welcome back my only
[C]
Long time lonely friend
