A Dark Eye

	  		
Intro: G 

                D                   G 
In the parking lot where I waited alone 
                   C                       G 
A white bird sat sleeping on a broken payphone 
                         C                          G 
And there came a black beetle dragging off a green fly 
                     D                   G 
Underneath a parked car and then out of sight 

                   C                     G 
And I felt a dark eye turn its gaze upon me 
           D                      G  G/F# 
As if the earth, the earth could see 

       Em           G 
A dark eye, a dark eye 
        D           G 
A dark eye fell on me 

                D                         G 
In the parking lot where a prairie once grew 
                       C                  G 
And through the tall grass, the buffalo flew 
                    C                G 
I heard something crying way down below 
                        D                  G 
Where the sewer lines snake around Indian bones 

                 D                     G 
In that parking lot, cars bake in the sun 
                        C                  G 
And somewhere down the road, the pop of a gun 
                 C                G 
I watched a red ant crawl up my shin 
               D                    G  G/F# 
And I felt so sad until it bit my skin 

       Em           G 
A dark eye, a dark eye 
        D           G 
A dark eye fell on me
