Key:
G Bm Em C The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,
Am D And when it was over it felt like a dream,
Am D They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream,
G G/F# Em The agents had paid for the black limousine
C D That waited outside in the rain. Chorus:
G Gsus Did you see them,
G C did you see them?
F Fmaj7 F6
Dm G7 Did you see them in the river?
Bb Dm Em F Em They were there to wave to you.
Dm G7 Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Bb Dm Em Brown skinned Indian on the banks
F Em That were crowded and narrow,
F G Held a broken arrow? --Intermission #1--
G Bm Em C Eighteen years of American dream,
Continues after the ad

G Gsus Did you see him,
G C did you see him?
F Fmaj7 F6 F Fmaj7 F6
Dm G7 Did you see him in the river?
Bb Dm Em F Em He was there to wave to you.

G Bm Em C The streets were lined for the wedding parade,
Am D The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song,
Am D The black covered caisson her horses had drawn
G G/F# Em Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn.
C D They married for peace and were gone. Chorus:
G Gsus Did you see them,
G C did you see them?
F Fmaj7 F6 F Fmaj7 F6
Dm G7 Did you see them in the river?
Bb Dm Em F Em They were there to wave to you.
Dm G7 Could you tell that the empty quivered,
