[1] Chwyty na gitarę
A A7 D d C G a F EASo without a thought I thought I'd take a final walkA7The tide of public opinion had started to abate
DThe neighbors (bless 'em) had turned out to be all talkdI could see their frightened faces peering at me through the gateAWas looking for an end to this for some kind of closureA7Time moved so rapidly I had no hope of keeping Dtrack of itAnd I thought of my friends who had died of exposure
And I
dremembered all the ones who had died from the lack of itAAnd in my best shoes I started falling forward down the streetA7Stopped at a church and jostled through the crowdDLove followed just behind me panting at my feet as thedSteeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloudAInside I sat seeking the presence of a GodA7Searched through the pictures in a leather-bound bookAnd I
Dfound a wooly lamb dozing in an issue of bloodAnd a
dgilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hookABabeIt seems so
A7longSince you've been
Dgone dawayAnd
CI just gotta GsayThat it grows
adarker Gwith the Fday EABack on the street I saw a great, big smiling A7sunIt was a good day and an evil day and all
Dwas bright and newAnd it seemed to me the most destruction was being
ddoneBy those who could not choose between the two
AAmateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clonesA7The streets groaned with little ceasars, napoleons, and DcuntsWith their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones
dCounting on their fingers with the crumbs down their frontsAI passed by garden so you with your A7flowersThe camellias, magnolias, and azaleas so
DsweetI stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
dYou looked so beautiful in the rising heatAI smell smoke see little fires bursting on the lawnsA7People carry on regardless listening to their handsDGreat cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawnsdBored in disgusted to do us downABabeIt seems so
A7longSince
Dyou've been gone []DmawayAnd
CI just gotta GsayThat it grows
adarker Gwith the Fday EAAll these streets are frozen now; I come and goA7Full of a longing for something I do not knowDMy father sits slumped in the deepening snowdAs I search in and out, above, about, and belowABabeIt seems so
A7longSince
Dyou've been gone dawayAnd
CI hope and I GprayThat it grows
adarker Gwith the Fday E
