[Intro][Chorus]
| Am C | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
[Verse 1]
Am C G G7
It's a simple song for simple feeling
Am C E E7
You see the moon and watch it rise
F C G G7
Across the continent the night bird sings
Am E Am C | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
And somewhere someone hears its cry
[Verse 2]
Am C G G7
So disillusioned keep your head down
Am C E E7
and if you do they'll never know
F C G G7
You'll have no answers to their questions
Am E Am Am7
And they will have to let you go
[Verse 3]
Am C G G7
And disenfranchised revolution
Am C E E7
They'll take away by right what's yours
F C G G7
And make you martyrs of your own cause
Am E Am Am7
When they don't know what cause it's for
[Verse 4]
Am C G G7
And all deserted stand alerted
Am C E E7
They'll love you when you're all alone
F C G G7
But you find a red rose in the morning light
Am E Am C | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
You wait the night and find it gone
[Outro]
Am C G G7
So hear my words with faith and passion
Am C E E7
For what I say to you is true
F C G G7
And when you find the one you might become
Am E Am C G G7
Remember art of me is you Hum-hum Humm-huhum
Am E Am Am
Remember part of me is you
