Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][C][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Night gave
way and [D]darkness fell
On the [F]rivers of the man in [C]white
Love benign, from [D]place to place
To the [F]rhythm of the train in [C]Hell
[F]Holding out their hand[D]s
Though hate [G]denied them
[F]Piercing all the way
[D]To where I fee[G]l

[Verse 2]
Speak[F]easy, unfriendly
[C]Here in no [D]where
So far away [G]from home
Speak[F]easy, where are [C]you now
Oh, I [D]wish I [G]knew,
I wish I [C]knew[G]

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][D][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Four young men, three [D]red and brown
In the [F]belly of a great white [C]bird
Something lonely [D]through the skin
In the [F]kingdom of her [C]majesty
[F]Singing through my soul
[D]I sought to [G]touch them
[F]Even though [D]they took me
For a [G]fool

[Verse 4]
Speak[F]easy, un[C]friendly
Here in [D]no where
So far away from [G]home
Speak[F]easy, where are you [C]now
Oh, I [D]wish I [G]knew,
I wish I [C]knew[G]

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][D][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[C]Murmurings in [D]foreign tongue
When they [F]thought I couldn't
under[C]stand
Smiling through their [D]fear for real
For the [F]faces of the living [C]sob
[F]Lacking was [D]the honesty [G]for reason
[F]Seing what it was
[D]Just made me [G]cry

[Verse 6]
Speak[F]easy, un[C]friendly
Here in [D]no where
So far away from [G]home
Speak[F]easy, where are you [C]now
Oh, [D]I wish I knew,
[G]I wis[C]h[G][F][C][D]
[G]I k[F]new[C][D]

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G][F][D]
