v1. Am                (B  C) G
    Set me up straight in my chair, comb my hair.

            Am                            G
    She's a fortress that's safe from the storm.
          Am                          G
    She's brave & she's free. & she's waitin'

    For tonight, I meet an ol' friend.
            Am                     G                     D
