_ _ _ [G] _ _ So with that I thought I'd take a final walk The tide of public opinion had started [C] to
abate The neighbors, bless them, had turned out to
be all [Cm] talk I could see their frightened faces peering
at me through the [G] gate I was looking for an end to this, for some
kind of closure _ Time moved so rapidly I had no hope of [C] keeping
track of it And I thought of my friends who had died of
exposure [Cm] And I remembered all the ones who had died
from the lack of [G] it And in my best [A] shoes I started [G] falling forward
down the street Stopped at a church and jostled through the
[C] crowd Love followed just behind me, panting at my
feet [Cm] As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely
little cloud [G] _ Inside I sat seeking the presence of a god
_ Searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book
And [C] I found a woolly lamb dozing and an issue of blood
[Cm] And a gilgiz a shivering on a fisherman's hook

_ _ [Bb] And I _ _ _ thought of [F] my friends who had died from exposure
And I remembered all the ones who had died _ from exposure
And I remembered [Gm] all the ones who had died _ _ [F] _
from [Eb] exposure
And I remembered all the ones who had died from exposure
And I remembered all the ones who had died from exposure

_ _ [G] _ Back on the street I saw a great big [G] smiling sun
It was a good day and an evil day and [C] all was bright and new
Seemed to me that most destruction was being [Cm] done
By those who could not choose between the [G] two
_ Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones
The streets groan with a little Caesar's [C] Napoleon's
The girls in coats with their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones
[Cm] Counting on their fingers with their crumbs down their thumps
[G] I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers
The camellias, magnolias and azaleas [C] so sweet
You stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
[Cm] You looked so [Gm] beautiful in the rising [G] heat
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands
[C] Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns
[Cm] Bored and disgusted to do us [G] down
Babe, _ it seems [G] so _ long
_ Since _ [C] you've been gone
You [Cm] went _ away _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ And I've just got [F] to say
_ The moon it [Gm] grows darker [F] _
with the [Eb] _ day

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
All these streets are frozen now, a come and go _
Full of a longing for something I do not [C] know
My father sits slumped in the deepening snow
[Cm] As I search in and out, above, about [G] and below _
It seems so long
Since _ [C] you've been _ gone
And you [Cm] went away _ _ _ _
[Bb] And I, _ oh, better [F] pray
_ _ That it [Gm] grows _ darker with the [Eb]
day
