Stringman

(início)

[Intro] F  C  Bb  C
F
You can say the soul is gone
         Dm
And the feeling is just not there
Bb           C            F
Not like it was so long ago
( F  C  Bb  C )
       F
On the empty page before you
         Dm
You can fill in what you care
Bb              C              F
Try to make it new before you go
Take the simple case of the sarge
     Dm
Who can't go back to war
           Bb
Cause the hippies
                 C
Tore down everything
                      F
That he was fighting for
( F  C  Bb  C )
        F
Or the lovers on the blankets
          Dm
That the city turned to whores
          Bb
With memories
          C             F
Of green kissed by the sun
( F  C  Bb  C  )
F
You can say the soul is gone
Dm
And close another door
Bb
Just be sure
      C               F
That yours is not the one
         Bb                F
And I'm singing for the stringman
     Bb              F
Who lately lost his wife
      Bb             F
There is no dearer friend of mine
     C               F
That I know in this life
         Bb              F
On his shoulder rests a violin
         Bb               F
For his head where chaos reigns
         Bb
But his heart
              F
Can't find a simple way
    C                    F    C  Bb  C
To live with all those things
      F     C    Bb  C
All those things
      F      C       Bb C
All those strings to pull
          F    C  Bb  C
He's a stringman
             F
All those strings
