[E] Sun went down, [C#m] looking like the [A] eye of God _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Behind icy [C#m] mist, stark [A] bare trees _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Inside the dim, [C#m] empty cinema
Two guys in [A] leather jackets
_ Glanted each other [F#m] and _ _ _ shivered _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] They never built [C#m] these places with [A] winter in _ mind _ _ _
_ _ [E] Out the window, [C#m] down the gray road
You can [A] see old Wall Street _
_ _ [E] _ Now [C#m] become a barracks
[A] _ _ _ For the _ paramilitary _ police _ _ _

_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] saw an old lady's face once
On a [A] Japanese train _ _ _
_ _ [E] Half lit, rich [C#m] with soft _ [A] lunacity
_ _ _ She _ _ [E] _ was dozing, [C#m] straight up, right head [A] bobbing Almost _ _ imperceptibly _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Her wheels were playing _ [C#m]
fast in [B] 98 [A] time
_ Her _ _ _ [E] _ _ husband's [C#m] friendly face suddenly cold [A] enough in a sneeze _
_ Across [E] _ _ the [C#m] straight, a volcano
_ _ [A] _ Blew a white smoke flag of _ surrender _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _

_ [E] In a Roman street, [C#m] _
on a full moon [A] night
_ I _ _ [E] _ was sick and there was a young cop in [A] a circle with yellow lights
_ So _ _ [E] he drew near, he snapped [C#m] the safety off his machine [A] pistol
And _ slid a trembling [F#m] finger to the trigger _ _
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ wanted to say something [C#m]
calming but couldn't [A] catch his eye _ _
He _ [E] _ _ didn't want [C#m] contact, he was trained to [A] see movement _ _
_ _ _ [E] Don't shoot me [C#m] man, I'm a graceful [A] slow dancer
I'm just a dream, dear, not real [F#m] at _ all _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] wonder if I'll end [C#m] up like Bernie in his [A] dream
_ A _
_ _ [E] _ displaced person [C#m] in some foreign border [A] town _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Waiting for a train [C#m] part, hope part, myth part
While the [A] station _ changes _ _ [F#m] hands _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Or [E] just sitting at home, [C#m] growing tenser with the [A] times
_ _ Like _ _ [E] _ that guy in [C#m] the seventh seal
Watching [A] the newly dead dance across the hills
[E] Or _ wearing [C#m] this leather jacket, shivering [A] with a friend
While the eye of God blazes in sadness [F#m] like the _ _ sun
