Crash Wisdom was the short-lived side band of Bangle, Michael Steele. No albums or
any studio recordings had been found until now. The only recording of them
was from a bootleg of their 10-song live shows in 1994.
This version is very similar to Jack Bruce's original except for some changes made
in the guitar solo part.
Note: Chords for the 12-string guitar used by Ms. Steele;
Capo on 2; Use standard chords if not provided.

[Intro]
G G/F# Em G G/F# Em
[Verse 1]
G G/F# Em A7 A7/G F
When the wagons leave the city for the forest and further on
G G/F# Em A7 C
Painted wagons of the morning, dusty roads where they've gone
G G/F# Em A7 A7/G F
Sometimes travellin' through the darkness, met the summer comin' home
G G/F# Em Em7 C A7 G G/F#
Fallen faces by the wayside, looked as if they might have known
[Chorus]
Em Bm11 Em Bm11
Oh the sun was in their eyes, and the desert was dry
C G Em A C
In the country towns, where their laughter sounds.
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em A7 A7/G F
Oh the dancing and the singing and the music when they played
G G/F# Em A7 C
Oh the fires that they started along the road with no regrets
G G/F# Em
Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
A7 A7/G F
Often lost it along the way
G G/F# Em Em7 C A7 G G/F#
Fought each other to possess it, sometimes died with the sun in their eyes.
[Chorus]
Em Bm11 Em Bm11
Oh the sun was in their eyes, and the desert was dry
C G Em A C
In the country towns, where their laughter sounds.
[Solo]
G G/F# Em A7 F

[Chorus]
Em Bm11 Em Bm11
Oh the sun was in their eyes, and the desert was dry
C G Em A C
In the country towns, where their laughter sounds.
