[Verse 1]

C#
Light the candles, brother
C#
I can hear the horses getting closer
    F#
And I'll be there to meet you Diane
                              C#
I'll be there to meet you, Diane

C#
We'll work through the winter
C#
There's no panthers in this cold
    F#
And I'll be there to meet you Diane
                              C#
I'll be there to meet you Diane

[Chorus 1]
G#m                    F#               C#
I've been awake, for a very, very long time
G#m                    F#               C#
I've been awake, for a very, very long time

              G#m
Just like my mother
              C#
Just like my mother
              G#m
Just like my mother
      C#
Ooh-oh

Go with your father for us
C#
Learn how to help us when he's gone

And I'll be there to meet you Diane

I'll be there to meet you Diane

C#
Walk into the forest
C#
But come back alive
        F#
Oh, and I'll be there to meet you Diane
