David Francey - Evening News
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: G
Jesus in the harbour stands
C
One foot on water, one on land
G
His life a gift, his life a curse
C
No sign of heaven here on earth
CHORUS:
F C
And some they sit and they see right through
G
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
And the hangman mounts the gallows steps
C
Slips the rope around the neck
G
And the prisoner on the scaffold stands
C
His fate in the hooded hangman's hand
CHORUS:
F C
And some they sit and they see right through
G
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
CHORUS:
C F C
And some they sit and they see right through
G
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
BRIDGE:
D
And the firing squad stands in a line
C
And the prisoner awaits his time
D
He's just a hooded target now
C
About to take his final bow
CHORUS:
F C
And some they sit and they see right through
G
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C G C G
BRIDGE:
D
And the firing squad stands in a line
C
And the prisoner now awaits his time
D
He's just a human target now
C
About to take his final bow
CHORUS:
F C
And some they sit and they see right through
G
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
And the bomber waits to draw a crowd
C
To howl mighty, howl loud
G
And the cameras record the scene
C
For the TV and the magazines
CHORUS:

And some they sit and they see right through

The kaleidoscope of the evening news
