[Verse 1]
F
Rain for the last day that I will be
 known
    D          C            Bb
The way that I want them to know me
F
Rain for reporters' predictable 
leads
       D         C           Bb
On the darkening stain of my name


[Pre-Chorus 1]
G                         Bb     
Rain like the morning you left 
            F                C
with the international brigade
  G                          Bb   
A streak of your face at the glass
                        F
 when the train pulled away


[Chorus 1]
Bb/D         C/E           F    
     The aspidistra that refused
    Bb
 to die
Bb/D             C/E      
     A miniature camera in a 
   F         Bb
Cambridge tie
Bb               C         F    
     To get that Soviet control 
                 Bb
to crack a smile

[Verse 2]
F
Sleep for the telephone's silent 
receiver
       D            C           Bb
On its beetle-black back in the hall
F
Sleep for the bottle that rolled off
 my desk
D             C          Bb
Danced itself out on the floor


[Pre-Chorus 2]
G                        Bb      
Sleep for the overturned ashtray 
         F                   C
splayed across an unmade bed
      G                   Bb      
While I interrogate every word 
              F
that I ever said


[Chorus 2]
Bb/D             C/E            
     I fall from buildings into 
F     Bb
angry air
Bb/D            C/E         
     Lecture my students in my 
   F    Bb
underwear
Bb              C              F
     But once I was allowed to 
                    Bb
dream of you instead
Bb        C             F
My dear defected fellow traveller

[Bridge]
        G
How you booked your final passage
       A
With a passport that you paid for 
with a pair of roller skates
        Bb
How you dyed your hair and mustache
         C
Put on a mid-Atlantic accent but you
 couldn't stop the shakes

          G
When they asked where you had come 
from
        A
And you muttered, "That's a good 
one"
                Bb
Though you were never really certain


[Chorus 3]
Bb/D         C/E            F   
     Every umbrella down on 
    Bb
Portman Square
Bb/D           C/E        F     
     Opens and closes to arraign
     Bb
 our fair
Bb             C                 
     Theory of something I can't 
F               Bb
picture anymore
Bb        C             G         A
A forgery for my fellow traveller


[Otro]
  Bb            C
I won't wait to see
            A                C/E
I still I believe in you and me
          F
My fellow traveller
