Am              C                  G     G7
  It's a simple song for simple feeling

Am            C                 E    E7
  You see the moon and watch it rise

F            C             G               G7
  Across the continent the night bird sings

Am              E                 Am   C  | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
  And somewhere someone hears its cry
[Verse 2]
Am        C                  G        G7
  So disillusioned keep your head down

Am           C                E    E7
  and if you do they'll never know

F                C                G         G7
  You'll have no answers to their questions

Am              E                Am   Am7
  And they will have to let you  go
[Verse 3]
Am         C              G      G7
  And disenfranchised revolution

Am              C                   E    E7
  They'll take away by right what's yours

F              C               G        G7
  And make you martyrs of your own cause

Am                E                    Am   Am7
  When they don't know what cause it's for
[Verse 4]
Am             C              G     G7
  And all deserted stand  alerted

Am                 C                E    E7
  They'll love you when you're all alone

F                C               G           G7
  But you find a red rose in the morning light

Am             E                 Am   C  | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
  You wait the night and find it gone
[Outro]
Am           C                       G     G7
  So hear my words with faith and passion

Am           C             E    E7
  For what I say to you is true

F              C                G           G7
  And when you find the one you might become

Am          E             Am  C        G      G7
  Remember art of me is you  Hum-hum Humm-huhum

Am         E             Am    Am
  Remember part of me is you
