G G7 C Cm Bb F Gm F Eb D7
G So without a thought I thought I'd take a final walk G7 The tide of public opinion had started to abate C The neighbors (bless 'em) had turned out to be all talk Cm I could see their frightened faces peering at me through the gate G Was looking for an end to this for some kind of closure G7 C Time moved so rapidly I had no hope of keeping track of it
And I thought of my friends who had died of exposure
Cm And I remembered all the ones who had died from the lack of it G And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street G7 Stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd C Love followed just behind me panting at my feet as the Cm Steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud G Inside I sat seeking the presence of a God G7 Searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book C And I found a wooly lamb dozing in an issue of blood Cm And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook G Babe G7 It seems so long C Cm Since you've been gone away Bb F And I just gotta say Gm F Eb D7 That it grows darker with the day G G7 Back on the street I saw a great, big smiling sun C It was a good day and an evil day and all was bright and new Cm And it seemed to me the most destruction was being done
By those who could not choose between the two
G Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones G7 C The streets groaned with little ceasars, napoleons, and cunts
With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones
Cm Counting on their fingers with the crumbs down their fronts G G7 I passed by garden so you with your flowers C The camellias, magnolias, and azaleas so sweet
I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
Cm You looked so beautiful in the rising heat G I smell smoke see little fires bursting on the lawns G7 People carry on regardless listening to their hands C Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns Cm Bored in disgusted to do us down G Babe G7 It seems so long C Cm Since you've been gone away Bb F And I just gotta say Gm F Eb D7 That it grows darker with the day G All these streets are frozen now; I come and go G7 Full of a longing for something I do not know C My father sits slumped in the deepening snow Cm As I search in and out, above, about, and below G Babe G7 It seems so long C Cm Since you've been gone away Bb F And I hope and I pray Gm F Eb D7 That it grows darker with the day
