Ebony Dreams Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D5]She is the one in a million,
and millions are all [Dm]one.
And [D5]like the drub aboard,
[D]the work is never done.
The crucifix it [D5]hangs, the [D]mortar nicotine.
[D5]Soap opera is the cure,
and the high -rise is just [D]a dream.
[D5]Thallium's the trip,
a fierce [Dm]state of affairs.
[D5]And problem families smash the glass,
but no one really cares.
But when we are much older,
[Dm]grey -haired [D5]and out of schemes,
The competition stops,
and we welcome [Dm]ebony dreams.
[D5]The bus stops screeching cries,
with tears in our eyes.
He's off to [Dm]score again,
in secure [D5]line that dies.
Supermarket scandal,
starving nations they have less.
Look before you leap,
down in drink just to depress.
Snow lies on the tombstone,
[Dm]a hearse proves se[D5]asons change.
From the bingo,
to the dance hall, our [Dm]lives to rearrange.
[D5]And when we are much older, grey
-haired and out of schemes,
The [Dm]competition stops when
[D5]we welcome ebony dreams.
Some they worship
John
Paul, or bow down to the
Queen,
Corrupting life's own [Dm]rules,
and believe what's on the [D5]screen.
Hypocrites just talk,
[Dm]don't shoot them down with fire.
[D5]Critics try to suss, college [Dm]dia
lects to devour.
The shipyard [D5]gates closed,
and drumsticks laid to rest.
Psychoanalyze our minds.
It will put you to the test.
Ebony [Dm]dreams are always here.
[D5]But ebony dreams are what we fear.
Fear.
Fear.
Fear.
Fear.
