Intro G  C7M(9)  
      G  C7M(9)  

       G 
When I saw her cursed 
         C7M(9) 
Muddy and confused 
           C7M(9)                     G 
Asking to return to that bygone foggy view 
                  G 
Dust falls to the ground 
               C7M(9) 
Showing who we are 
                   C7M(9)                 D9 
The lie will always fall for peace or for war 
                        C 
All the famine of good songs 
               D9 
Has led her to believe 
                       C 
That her name and face belong 
        C   G/B     A 
To another deck of cards 



A                     C 
All the Village Fifty-Two 
                       Eb 
Says the Madman Myth is true 
             G 
How couldn't be? 
A                   C 
Everybody fears the fool 
                         Eb 
And up to now she has no clue 
             G  D/F#  F6  C 
The Joker is me 

( G  D/F#  F6  C ) 

               G 
I've been here alone 
            C7M(9) 
For so many years 
           C7M(9)                       G 
Waiting for someone to bring me back my tears 
               G 
When I lost myself 
                C7M(9) 
All the music's gone 
             C7M(9)                 D9 
Now somebody else is raising up my tone 
                        C 
And I know she needs my songs 
                   D9 
As I need her sympathy 
                            C 
This combination seems so strong 
            C        G/B     A 
But I don't know if she will see 

( G  D/F#  F6  C ) 
( Am7(9)  Am6(9)  Am9  Em/G ) 
( G  D/F#  F6  C ) 
( Am7(9)  Am6(9)  Am9  Em/G ) 

 

G 
When I saw her cursed 
          C7M(9) 
Muddy and confused 
            C7M(9)                    G 
Asking to return to that bygone foggy view 
                   G 
Dust falls to the ground 
               C7M(9) 
Showing who we are 
                   C7M(9) 
The lie will always fall for peace or for war
