[Intro]
Bb Bb9 Eb Am7 D Gm
[Verse 1]
F Eb Bb Chamois cleaning all the windows F Eb Bb Singin' songs about Edith Piaf's soul F Eb Bb And I hear blue strains of "Ne Regrette Rien" F Eb Bb Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame F Eb Bb Meanwhile, back in San Francisco F Eb Bb I try hard to make this whole thing blend F Eb Bb And we sit upon this jagged Cm F Story block, with you, my friend Eb Bb And it's a long way to Buffalo Eb Bb It's a long way to Belfast city, too Eb Bb And I'm hopin' that Joyce won't blow the hoist Eb Bb 'Cause this time, they bit off more than they could chew
[Chorus]
F Eb As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on F Eb As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on, yeah Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Gm Saint Dominic's preview
[Verse 2]
F Eb Bb All the orange boxes are scattered F Eb Bb I guess the Safeway supermarket in the rain F Eb Bb And everybody feels so determined F Eb Bb Not to feel anyone else's pain F Eb Bb No one makin' no commitments F Eb Bb To anybody but themselves F Eb Bb Talkin' behind closed doorways Cm F Tryin' to get outside, get outside of empty shell Eb Bb And for every cross country corner, country corner Eb Bb For every Hank Williams railroad train that cries Eb Bb And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems Eb Bb And every strain on brain and every eye
[Chorus]
F Eb As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on F Eb As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Bb I look at them, man Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Bb Look at the band Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Gm Saint Dominic's preview
[Verse 3]
F Eb Bb All the restaurant tables are completely covered F Eb Bb And the record company has paid out for the wine F Eb Bb You got everything in the world you ever wanted F Eb Bb And right about now, your face should wear a smile, do you know that? F Eb Bb That's the way it all should happen F Eb Bb When you're in, when you're in the state you're in F Eb Bb Have you got your pen and notebook ready Cm F Think it's about time, time for us to begin Eb Bb And meanwhile, we're over on a 52nd Street apartment Eb Bb Socializin' with the winos too Eb Bb Just to be hip, and get wet with the jet set Eb Bb But they was flyin' too high to see my point of view
[Chorus]
F Eb As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on F Eb As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Bb Look at them, man Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Bb Look at the band Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Bb Set them freedom marchin'
[Outro]
Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb (Saint Dominic's preview) Bb Out in the street, freedom marchin' Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb (Saint Dominic's preview) Bb Out in the street, look at them, man Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb (Saint Dominic's preview) Bb Turn around Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb (Saint Dominic's preview) Bb Come back, come back Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb (Saint Dominic's preview) Bb Turn around and look at them, man Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb (Saint Dominic's preview) Bb Said, hold on Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Hey, hey, Saint Dominic's preview Bb To soul me in Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb Saint Dominic's preview
