Intro 1
(D major) (B minor) (G major)
(D major) (B minor) (G major)
Verse 1
(D major) Sun went down
(B minor) looking like the eye of God (G major)
(D major) Behind icy mis (B minor) t and stark bare trees (G major)
(D major) Inside the dim empty cinema (B minor)
two guys in leather (G major) jackets
Glance at each other and shiver (E minor) ,
"They (D major) never built these places (B minor) with winter in mind" (G major)
(D major) Out the window down
the gray (B minor) road
You can see old (G major) walled monastery (D major)
Now become a barracks (B minor) (G major) for
Verse 2
the paramilitary police
(E minor) I (A major) (G major) (Asus4)
(D major) (B minor) (E minor)
(D major) (B minor) (G major) (B minor) (E minor)
(D major) (B minor) (G major) (E minor)
(D major) (B minor)
(E minor) saw (D major) an old lady's face once (B minor) on a Japanese (G major) train
(D major) Half lit, rich with soft (B minor) luminosity (G major)
(D major) She was dozing straight (B minor) upright head
(G major) bobbing almost imperceptibly (E minor)
(D major) Wheels were playing fast (B minor) in 9 8 of
a time (G major)
(D major) Her husband's friendly (B minor) face
suddenly folded (G major) up in a sneeze
(D major) Across the straight a (B minor) volcano (G major) flew a white smoke flag of sur (E minor) render
(A major) (Asus4)

Verse 3
In a (D major) Roman street (B minor) on a full moon (G major) night
(D major) I was sick and there was a young
(B minor) cop in a circle of yel (G major) low light
As (D major) we drew near he snapped the
(B minor) safety off his machine pis (G major) tol
And slid a trembling finger to the (E minor) trigger
I (D major) wanted to say something calm
(B minor) ing but couldn't catch his (G major) eye
(D major) He didn't want contact, (B minor)
he was trained to see (G major) movement
(D major) "Well don't shoot me, man,
(B minor) I'm a graceful slow (G major) dancer
Interlude 2
I'm just a dream to you not real at all"
(E minor) (A major) (Asus4) (D major)
(B minor) (E minor) (D major) (B minor) (E minor)
(D major) (B minor) (E minor) (D major) (B minor) (E minor)
Verse 4
I (D major) wonder if I'll end up like
(B minor) Bernie in his dream (G major)
A (D major) displaced person in some
(B minor) foreign border town (G major)
(D major) Waiting for a train part
(B minor) hope part myth
While the (G major) station changes hand (E minor) s
Or just (D major) sitting at home growing
(B minor) tenser with the times (G major)
(D major) Or like that guy in 'The Sev
(B minor) enth Seal'
Watching the newly (G major) dead
dance across the hills
Or (D major) wearing this (B minor) leather jacket
shivering with a (G major) friend
While the eye of God blazes at us (E minor) like the sun
Outro 1
