Intro: Dbmin Caug A Ab (x2)
Dbmin Caug A Ab
Armies and ice and dirty green
Dbmin Caug A Ab
Newspapers, shovels, sand on the breeze
Dbmin Caug A Ab
And I think of Eliot when I smell the streets
Gbmin/A Ab Gbmin/A Ab
And it's some----times wise just to shut - your - eyes
Dbmin Caug A Ab
workers and lovers
make their living space neat
bent out of shape over what to eat
and I dream of Eliot but I am discreet
'cause it's sometimes wise just to shut your eyes
Gbmin B
How sure, how right
Gbmin B
can anyone be ---- on site?
Gbmin B Gbmin/A Cdim(add6-min)
I said I had hope ---- I lied
oh the city in winter
the sewage, the steam
you fill buildings with people
and they rip at the seams
and somebody's suffering
infected my dreams
and don't they know it's just my old soul?
How sure, how right
can anyone be on site?
I said I had hope - I lied
oh so calm, so wise
give him the Nobel Prize
he said he had hope - he lied
