[Dbm] [B]
[A] [B]
[Dbm] As [B]
[A] [B]
[Dbm] he [A] walks [Dbm] along the [A] gorgeous [Abm] edge He meets the [A] sense of [Gbm]
[E] yesteryear
A [Dbm] window [A] in the [Dbm] bank [A] above his [Abm] head Reveals his [A] home amidst [Gbm] the [E] streets
[Abm]
Surreal sounds, sounds of complaints The [A] smell of acid on his gun-hot face
As [Abm] he coughs out anger in a blood-red band [A] Destroy tomorrow by an unknown hand My [E] home!
[Bb]
[Eb] Is this the way out from the embassy?
[Ebm] [Gb] Or just an entrance to another dream?
As [Bb] he [E] dies down, sounds of worries But
[Dbm] as the [A] skylight [Db] [A] beckons him [Abm] to leave
He hears [A] a scream from far [E] below [Dbm] Within [A] the raging [Dbm] water [A] arrives [Abm] the form
Of Brother [A] John, he cries [E] for help
[Abm] The gate is fading now, but open [E] [Abm] wide
[A] For John is drowning, a murky sight [Abm] Between the freedom I had and the rat race
[A] I'll stay forever in this forsaken place [E] Hey John!
[Bb]
[Eb] He makes for the river and the gate is gone [Ebm] Back [Gb] to the void where he came from
And [Bb] the night, night, night, night, night [E] lies down, down, down, down
All the way
[Bm] [Em] [Gb]
[E]
[B] [E]
[Bm]
