C, Am, and G chords (for instance I'll just hammer-on the D string for the
C & Am, and on the A for the G chord. Listen to the record and you'll hear
what I mean).
Intro C Am Dm GC
In truck stops, and hamburger joints,
AmIn Cadillac limosuines, in the company of
Has-beens and bent-backs
GAnd sleeping forms on pavement steps,
CIn libraries and railway stations,
In books and banks,
DmIn the pages of history
G C AmAnd suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize
Myself in every stranger's eyes.
And in wheelchairs by monuments,
AmUnder tube trains, commuter accidents,
DmIn council care and county courts,
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,
CIn drawing rooms and city morgues,
AmIn award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,
In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,
G C AmAnd faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize
F G CMyself in every stranger's eyes.
C Am Dm G
And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've plundered from the pool
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so nearly blind
C C/G Am FAnd I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I hear bells that chime in
strange,
Gfamiliar ways
C Am F G C F G Em Am Dm GI recognize the hope you kindle in your eyes
C F G
It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to
snuff out the
G C CCCsmoke of our love.
