John Renbourn – So Clear (Guitar)

C             G             Am                  E
It was in the rainy season, waiting for the train

Am               D            Bm           E
Leaving in the afternoon, all on your own again

D                  Am                D                      Am
Do you really understand it, can you tell me why it is this way

G               F      C         Am               D
Sad lady at her portmanteau with no words left to say

F                     C                  Am         D     F
Saving that it's only something that can happen any day

C           G            Am                  E
Toulouse, the circus rider, turn on your childish grin

Am                  D                     Bm              E
Shine on through the long black night, go ride the dawn again

D                                 Am         D                       Am
Your eyes are stars that sweetly twinkle, aureole around your head aflame

G                  F       C         Am               D
Sad story that you cannot tell, where no one is to blame

F                    C                 Am                D     F
And anyhow it's only something sure to come down with the rain

G                       F                C          G          Am
Would I could hear your song so clear, the words could touch the air

     C                      Am           D               F
And catch the moon's reflection in the colour of her hair

   C                 Am             C           G     Am
To ease this ache of loneliness and blind the vicious stare

C          G            Am                        E
Even now I do remember one thing more that is not told

       Am               D              Bm                  E
Just a slightly twisted crystal heart to keep you from the cold

    D                      Am        D                         Am
All up the coast along the highway nobody there will know your name

   G                         F       C         Am               D
So strange how things should work out now, yet still remain the same

F                            C                Am             D     F
And even so you know there's nothing that can ever really change
