[Verse 1]
Am C
I see the dark lands
F Am
Unfold before me
F C G F
The rain is thickening down
Am C F Am
I see the city aflame with lights
F C
Though all the streets are
G F
Beset with shadow
[Instrumental]
Am C F Am F C G F
[Verse 2]
Am C
I see a man
F Am
With a curtain in his eyes
F C
A stone upon his heart
G F
He is lost in the past
Am C
And I see a woman
F Am
She is alive
F C
But as usual with these things
G F
She fears for the future of her child
[Chorus]
Am C
And I hear the freight trains rolling
F Am
On through the night
F C
With their endless cargoes
G F
For our endless desires
Am C
And I smash the cup
F Am
I turn the dial
F C G F
On the long-wave radio
Am C
The music plays out
F Am
Some old fashioned song,
F C G F G
Some old fashioned song, of love...
[Outro]
C F C
So goodbye, to all of that,
Am G
So goodbye my love,
F C F
To all of that...so goodbye to all of that....
(fade out, end with F Am)
Notes:
-In intro, you can start by playing this, each note 16 times:
E-------------------|
B-------------------|
G-------------------|
D-------------------|
A-0--3---0---3------|
E------1---1---3--1-|
then switch to power chords with two times slower tempo, then to full chords in verse
-Alternatively in outro you can jump a key (Am>Bm, C>D, F>G, G>A)
-Listen to the song to avoid counfusion with chord positioning,e.g. you always enter on Am before the singing
