Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Oh [Am]yeah,[G] y[D]eah
Yes well, well, well
Yes [Ab]well, well, [D]well
Yes well, well, well

[Verse 2]
I [D]took a walk down to the port
Where strangers meet and do consort
All blinkered with desire
And a winter fog moved thickly on
A [C]winter fog moved thickly on
A [Am]winter fog moved [G]thickly [D]on

[Verse 3]
[D]Now, who will be the witness?
Who will be the witness?
Who will be the witness?
When the fog's too thick to see

[Verse 4]
And [D]I saw a friend beside a wall
Her hands were raised in supplication
And her face I could not see at all
And I raised my hands in rage

[Verse 5]
And [D]I brought them down again
And we entered through the eastern door
I [C]entered through the eastern door
[Am]She entered through [G]the
[D]eastern door

[Verse 6]
[D]And now, who will be the witness?
Who will be the witness?
Who will be the witness?
When you're all too blind to see

[Verse 7]
[D]Mmm[C][D]
And time gets somewhat muddled here
But no matter, no [C]matter
[G]Here [D]come the events all

[Verse 8]
tumbling down
[G][D][G]
[D]Now, beyond the wall was a great garden
Into which we [G]passed 'cause
of [D]me and my friend
And the place was all
overgrown with weeds
And behold from its center
there rose a great fountain

[Verse 9]
A [D]fountain with the healin' waters
Yes, a fountain with the
healin' waters
And we knelt down by the rim
And I dipped my hand in and

[Verse 10]
she dipped her hand in too
[D]
And I said, "Are you healed?"
And she said, "Well are you healed?"
And I said, "Yes, I'm healed"
And she said, "Oh,
yes I'm healed then too"

[Verse 11]
And I said, [D]"Babe, you are a liar"
"Babe, you are a liar"
"Babe, you are a liar"
[C]"Babe, you are a liar"
[Am]"Babe, you are a [G]liar, too"
[D]

[Verse 12]
Now, who will be the witness?
Who will be the witness?
Who will be the witness?

[Verse 13]
When you're all too healed to see
[D]
And I kissed her once, I kissed her twice
And made my way to leave her
And she raised her hand up to her face
And brought it down again

[Verse 14]
I said, "That [D]gesture, it will haunt me"
That gesture, it will haunt me
And I [C]left there by the eastern door
She [Am]left there by the [G]western [D]door

[Verse 15]
Now, [C]who will be the witness?
[Am]Who will be the [G]witness [D]there?
When you're blind and you can't see
[C]Who will be the witness, baby?
[Am]Who will be the [G]witness [D]there?
When you're all so clean you cannot see
[C]Who will be the witness?
[Am]Who will be the [G]witness?

[Verse 16]
[D]Who will be the witness?
Who will be the witness?
[C]Who will be the witness, baby?
[Am]Who will be [G]the witness [D]there?

[Verse 17]
Oh, when your [D]friends are everywhere
[C]Who will be the witness?
[Am]Who will be the [G]witness [D]there?

[Verse 18]
And your enemies have ceased to care
[C]Who will be the witness?
[Am]Who will be the witn[G]ess?
Yeah, [D]who will be the witness?

[Verse 19]
Who will be the witness?
[C]Who will be the witness, baby?
[Am]Who will be the [G]witness [D]there?
Yeah, [C]who will be the witness?
[Am]Who will be the [G]witness?

[Verse 20]
