difficulty
very easy |||||
       C 
In truck stops, and hamburger joints,
 Am 
      In Cadillac limosuines, in the company of
 Dm 
Has-beens and bent-backs
 G 
    And sleeping forms on pavement steps,
       C 
In libraries and railway stations,
 Am 
      In books and banks,
 Dm 
      In the pages of history
         G                                                                     C  Am 
And suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize
 F                     G                               C 
    Myself in every stranger's eyes.
               C 
And in wheelchairs by monuments,
 Am 
      Under tube trains, commuter accidents,
 Dm 
      In council care and county courts,
 G 
    At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,
 C 
    In drawing rooms and city morgues,
                                   Am 
In award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,
       Dm 
In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,
 G                                                                                             C  Am 
    And faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize
 F                     G                               C 
    Myself in every stranger's eyes.
         C                                 Am                               Dm 
And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've
                                       G 
plundered from the pool
                 C                                     Am                       Dm 
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so
                 G 
nearly blind
                             C                             C/G             Am 
And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I
                                   FEm  Dm                                   G 
hear bells that chime   in strange, familiar ways
             C  Am               F                             G                       C 
I recognize           the hope you kindle in your eyes

 C                                                         F                             G 
    It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark
                 Em                                                           Am 
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the
                       Dm                                                     G 
tears that threaten to snuff out the spark of our
     C 
love.
