INTRO
DO LAm REm SOL
VERSE:
DO
In truck stops, and hamburger joints,
LAm
In Cadillac limosuines, in the company of
REm
Has-beens and bent-backs
SOL
And sleeping forms on pavement steps,
DO
In libraries and railway stations,
LAm
In books and banks,
REm
In the pages of history
SOL DO LAm
And suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize
FA SOL DO
Myself in every stranger's eyes.
DO
And in wheelchairs by monuments,
LAm
Under tube trains, commuter accidents,
REm
In council care and county courts,
SOL
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,
DO
In drawing rooms and city morgues,
LAm
In award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,
REm
In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,
SOL DO LAm
And faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize
FA SOL DO
Myself in every stranger's eyes.
DO LAm REm SOL
And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've plundered from the pool
DO LAm REm SOL
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so nearly blind
DO DO/SOL LAm FA
And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I hear bells that chime in
strange,
SOL
familiar ways
DO LAm FA SOL DO FA SOL MIm LAm REm SOL
I recognize the hope you kindle in your eyes
DO FA SOL
It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark
MIm LAm REm
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to
snuff out the
SOL DO DOCC
smoke of our love.
