Emaj7 F#m7 Emaj7/G# Amaj7 On a quiet night Gmaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Bsus4 You can hear the rustling of the leaves Emaj7 F#m7 Emaj7/G# Amaj7 On a quiet night Gmaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Bsus4 Distant voices carry softly in the breeze
Chorus 1:
C#m And I'm inside my room G#m Captured in a moment's thought Gmaj7 F#m7 Strumming on a chord from my guitar
A/B [N.C.; harpsichord as per intro]
Silently, silently (silently)
So silently (so silently)
Verse 2:
On a quiet night
Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
I'm lying on my bed
Scratching my head, wondering what it's about
Chorus 2:
Are we all minstrels
Playing in a three-ring circus
Searching for a purpose that's not there
Silently, silently (silently)
So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)
Bridge:
bass: v v v v -----------------| -------------9\--| -----------------| -----------------| D#7 G#m Everybody's thinking F# B Gotta get ahead, gotta get ahead D#7 G#m Everybody's drinking F# A Hurrying, worrying, playing the game G#m All acting the same B A G#m F#m As I look out through my windowpane
Verse 3:
On a quiet night
The wind, it can play tricks on your ear
Like some unsolved mystery
We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near
[repeat chorus 2]
Coda:
A/B (harpsichord, recorder, drums, backward tambourine to fade)
