INTRO
Dsus2 Csus9 Dsus2 x 2
VERSE I
Dsus2 Csus9 Dsus2
Now you're walking that well-healed ground Upon a fragile course
Csus9
The Gin Lane talk has been getting you down
Dsus2
Cos the hero Blake could not be found
Csus9 Dsus2 Csus9 Dsus2 Csus9
And yes there's a lot of faking going down
VERSE II
Dsus2 Csus9
The smoke that clouded your eyes
Dsus2
Was a daily event
Csus9
And those weren't ghosts they were only men
Dsus2
Just the beauty that you sensed
Csus9 Dsus2 Csus9
Could heal all indifference
CHORUS
Am C
Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
Em
I can't believe what I have found
G C
I touched the spirit of this ordinary town
Am C
And in the summer heat Under the crowded sheets
Em
They were feathering their beds
G C Am
I felt the spirit Of this place we'd left for dead
VERSE III
Dsus2 Csus9
The darkened streets for a guide
Dsus2
We search vainly for your sight
Dsus2 Csus9
The tension rising on every side
Dsus2
You find comfort in its might
Csus9 Dsus2 Csus9 Dsus2 Csus9
But that sun burns more than she lights
CHORUS
Am C
Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
Em
I can't believe what I have found
G C
I touched the spirit of this ordinary town
Am C
And in the summer heat Under the crowded sheets
Em
They were feathering their beds
G C Am
I felt the spirit Of this place we'd left for dead
INTERLUDE
Em C
VERSE IV
Dsus2 Csus9
Further down in this town
Dsus2
You hear the common word of mouth
Dsus2 Csus9
That back-street talk just a hollow sound
Dsus2
Cos the hero Blake could not be found
Csus9 Dsus2
And yes there's a lot of faking going down
INTERLUDE
Am C Am Dsus2 Em G C
CHORUS
Am C
Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
Em
I can't believe what I have found
G C
I touched the spirit of this ordinary town
Am C
And in the summer heat Under the crowded sheets
Em
They were feathering their beds
G C Am
I felt the spirit Of this place we'd left for dead
Dsus2
