Scanning These Crowds chords by Bruce Cockburn
Skip chords and lyrics
Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
(A minor) I was half asleep in the washroom
when they came in
Eyes like moonlight on barbed wire
and veins showing under the skin
(B minor) The uniforms made me nervous,
I got ready for the chase
But they left me scanning (A minor) these crowds (C major)
for some (A minor) sign (D major) of your (A minor) face
Verse 2
(A minor)
Something fell on Saskatchewan in 1885
Where is it now that we need it,
in this century of jive?
(B minor) The axe falls as if through water,
never leaves a trace
And I'm scanning (A minor) these crowds (C major)
for some (D major) sign of your (A minor) face
Verse 3
(A minor)
The world shot down love as a spy,
once upon a time ago
Now people stand around (A major) here, (A minor)
like crows in the snow
(B minor) Like the shadow of the rope on Louis Riel,
they look so clean out of place
And I'm scanning (A minor) these crowds (C major) for some sign (D major)
of your (A minor) face
Interlude 1
(G major) (F major) (A minor)
(B minor) (A minor)
Verse 4
Though storms may still kiss the grasslands (A minor)
with primal fire
In the land of passive revolution,
everything's for hire (B minor)
Are they demons, are they lemmings,
or just the humans in this place?
Lord, I'm scanning (A minor) these crowds (C major) (D major) (A minor) (C major)
for some (D major) sign of your face
