             in his   head          see the  world         spinning round
[Lyrics] Day after day, alone on a hill the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still but nobody wants to know him, they can see that he's just a fool and he never gives an answer Well on the way, his head in a cloud the man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud but nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make and he never seems to notice and nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do and he never shows his feelings and he never listens to them, he knows that they're the fool they don't like him ************************************ | a Arpeggio: all notes in the chord are played harp-like in one beat in fast sequence | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up | \ Slide down | ! marks chords with bar/half-bar shape ************************************
