[F#m] [A] [C] [D]
[A] [D]
[Am] It was a slow day, and [D] the sun was [Am] beating the soldiers by [D] the side of the road.
[Am] There was a bright light, a shatter in [D] the shop windows, the bomb in the baby carriage,
[Am] and the wires to the [G] radio.
These are the days of [C] miracles and [G] wonders.
This is the [D] long distance call.
[G] The way the camera [D] follows [G] us, the slow [D] mo, the way we look to a song,
[G] the way we look to a distant constellation that's dying in a [D] corner of the sky.
[G] These are the days [D] of miracles and [G] wonders.
And [C] don't cry, [D] baby, don't cry, don't [A] cry.
[C] [D] [D]
[A] [C] [D] [D]
[Am] It was a dry wind that [D] swept across the desert and curled into a circle of blue.
[Am] And the dead sand [D] falling on the [Am] children, the [D] mothers and the fathers, and the automatic [G] earth.
These are the days of [D] miracles and [G] wonders.
[D] This is the long distance call.
[G] The way the camera follows us, the slow mo, [D] the way we look to a song,
the [G] way we look to a [D] distant [G] constellation that's [D] dying in a corner of the sky.
[G] These are the days of miracles and wonders.
And [D] don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't [A] cry.
[C] [D] [Am] [D]
[A] [C] It's [D] [Am] [D] [D]
[F#m] [Am] a turnaround jump shot.
It's [D] everybody's [Am] jump start.
[D] Every generation knows the hero of the pop [F#m] charts.
[Gm] Medicine is [A] magical and [D] magical is [Am] art.
From the [D] boy in the bubble to the baby with the babbling [G] heart.
And every evening these are days.
[D] Lasers in the [G] jungle, [D] lasers in the jungle somewhere.
[G] Staccato signals, [D] constant [G] inclination.
A loose [D] affiliation to millionaires and billionaires and [G] baby.
These are the days of [D] miracles and [G] wonders.
[D] This is the long distance [G] call.
The way the camera follows us, the slow mo, [D] the way we look to a song, oh [G] yeah.
The way we look to a [D] distant [G] constellation that's [D] dying in a corner of the sky.
[G] These are the days of miracles and wonders.
And don't cry, [D] baby, don't cry, [G] don't cry, don't cry.
[D] [G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] Thanks [D]
[G] for [N] watching!
