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