INTRO
| C | A7 | Dm7 | G |
VERSE 1
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light
C/G G7sus4 C G
Where wisdom grows up in strife
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
My bewildering brain, toils in vain
C/G G7sus4 C
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
F Fm6 C
Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
F C/E D7 Dm7/G
Tomorrow keeps turning around
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
We live and we die, we know not why
C/G G7sus4 C
But I'll be with you when the deal goes down
VERSE 2
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
C/G G7sus4 C G
Far down the street we stray
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by
C/G G7sus4 C
Things I never meant nor wished to say
F Fm6 C
The midnight rain follows the train
F C/E D7 Dm7/G
We all wear the same thorny crown
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
C/G G7sus4 C
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

VERSE 3
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
Well, the moon gives light and shines by night
C/G G7sus4 C G(7sus4)
I scarcely feel the glow
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
We learn to live and then we forgive
C/G G7sus4 C
O'er the road we're bound to go
F Fm6 C
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
F C/E D7 Dm7/G
That keep us so tightly bound
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
C/G G7sus4 C
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

VERSE 4
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
Well, I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
C/G G7sus4 C G
I followed the winding stream
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
I heard a deafening noise, I felt transient joys
C/G G7sus4 C
I know they're not what they seem
F Fm6 C
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
F C/E D7 Dm7/G
You'll never see me frown
C E7 F Dm7(b5)
I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true
C/G G7sus4 C G(sus4)
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
