by Richard Del Connor, The Hippy Coyote THC

Bm________________A
Clouds crumble and the wind melts warm

__G________________F#m -F#_____Em
As mountains evaporate into ____the mirage

________F#__________Em - F#
My vision fades and goes

Bm___________________A
Where were dreams lie the charcoal trees

_____G__________________F#m ____F#
As we cough on the smoke and choke with tears

_____Em____________F#____Em - F#
We've forgotten what we know

 

CHORUS 1:
G___________C________________F#
Standing in the rain there's no room to cry

________Em___________A_______________C___B
Nothing to trust, nowhere to go, but where we will die

__C_____________D_____Em
So what do we have now my love?

G___________A_______Bm
What is there to fight the decay?

C____________D_______________A
But our love with which we feed each other

__C_______________D________________E
Beneath the bridge over which the soldiers parade

 

VERSE 2:
Bm______________A_______G
So in my sad tangled efforts to escape

_________F#m ____F#_____Em
You rub my back and wipe the windows clean

F#____________Em - F#
Someday we'll be safe

_____Bm___________A__________G
With a doctor's eyes and calm knowing fingers

____F#m ____F#_____Em__________F#
You erase the panic and steadily slow the pace

__Em_____________F#
Tomorrow I'll again be brave

 

CHORUS 2:
G___________C________________F#
Standing in the rain there's no room to cry

________Em___________A_______________C___B
Nothing to trust, nowhere to go, but where we will die

__C_____________D_____Em
So what do we have now my love?

G___________A_______Bm
What is there to fight the decay?

C____________D_______________A
But our love with which we feed each other

__C_______________D________________E
Beneath the bridge over which the soldiers parade

 

SOLO VERSE:   (Bm - A - G - F#m-F# - Em - F# - Em - F#)2

CHORUS 3:
G___________C________________F#
Standing in the rain there's no room to cry

________Em___________A_______________C___B
Nothing to trust, nowhere to go, but where we will die

__C_____________D_____Em
So what do we have now my love?

G___________A_______Bm
What is there to fight the decay?

C____________D_______________A
But our love with which we feed each other

__C_______________D________________E
Beneath the bridge over which the soldiers parade

 

VERSE 3:
Bm______________A
__We share a can of rusted beans

__G______________F#m -F#_____Em
it tastes terrible eating cold _____with dirty fingers

_______F#_______Em - F#
Did you know that today?

______Bm___________A_________G__________F#m_F#
Is the day when one day years ago we vowed to be inseparable --

_________Em___F#
Well it was true

_____Em_________F#
Here I am alone with you

 

CHORUS 4:
G___________C________________F#
Standing in the rain there's no room to cry

Nothing to trust, nowhere to go, but where we will die

__C_____________D_____Em
So what do we have now my love?

G___________A_______Bm
What is there to fight the decay?

C____________D_______________A
But our love with which we feed each other

__C_______________D________________E
Beneath the bridge over which the soldiers parade
