[Intro: ]C Am Dm G 
 
   C 
In truck stops, and hamburger joints, 
Em 
   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, 
Em 
   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, 
Em 
   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, 
                 Em 
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                 Em                Dm 
And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've  
                   G 
plundered from the pool 
        C                   Em            Dm     
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so  
        G 
nearly blind 
              C                      Am             
And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I  
                 F Em Dm                  G 
hear bells that chime  in strange, familiar ways 
      C Am        F               G            C     
I recognize      the hope you kindle in your eyes 
 C F Em G C F G 
C                             F               Em 
  It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark 
        G                                      C 
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the  
             F                         G 
tears that threaten to snuff out the smoke of our  
  C 
love.
