       C                F
In the blackness of the night

          G             C
I seem to wander endlessly

                    F          G
with a hope burning out deep inside

      F              G        C         Am
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out

         F        G           C          Am
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt

     C                 F            G
I'm alone and there is no one by my side

       C                F
In the blackness of the night

        G               C
I see a shadow blasting by

                     F           G
from the heels of an old soldier boy.

           F   
There's no compromising

G                C            Am
and his eyes are black as the sky

         F        G           C        Am
For this bad, bad world he is going to die.

      C                 F             G
He's alone and there is no one by his side

       C                F
In the blackness of the night

        G            C
I see a sparkle of a star

                      F         G
from the sweet silver tear of a child

          F              G             C           Am
and she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago

         F            G             C            Am
When her parents were happy she was too young to know

       C                 F             G
she's alone and there is no one by her side
C F G C F G F G C Am F G C Am C F G
     C                 F            G
I'm alone and there is no one by my side

       C                F
In the blackness of the night

          G             C
I seem to wander endlessly

                    F          G
with a hope burning out deep inside

      F              G        C         Am
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out

         F        G           C          Am
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt

     C                 F            G
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
