INTRO: 
 
 C Am Dm G 
 
VERSE: 
   C 
In truck stops, and hamburger joints, 
Am 
   In Cadillac limosuines, in the company of 
Dm 
Has-beens and bent-backs 
G 
  And sleeping forms on pavement steps, 
   C 
In libraries and railway stations, 
Am 
   In books and banks, 
Dm 
   In the pages of history 
    G                                   C Am 
And suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize 
F           G                C 
  Myself in every stranger's eyes. 
 
       C 
And in wheelchairs by monuments, 
Am 
   Under tube trains, commuter accidents, 
Dm 
   In council care and county courts, 
G 
  At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts, 
C 
  In drawing rooms and city morgues, 
                 Am 
In award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas, 
   Dm 
In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps, 
G                                               C Am 
  And faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize 
F           G                C 
  Myself in every stranger's eyes. 
 
    C                 Am               Dm                            G 
And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've plundered from the pool 
        C                   Am     Dm                      G 
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so nearly blind 
              C                C/G      Am                      F 
And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I hear bells that chime in 
strange, 
                     G 
        familiar ways 
           C Am F             G              C    F G Em Am Dm G 
I recognize      the hope you kindle in your eyes 
 
C                             F               G 
  It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark 
        Em                              Am                  Dm 
 
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to 
snuff out the 
        G            C     C C C 
        smoke of our love.
