Invisible Boy

       G                         
Well I guess that I'd die with my 
         /Gb /E D
friends at  my side
C             G                  
Puzzled young faces just slipped 
/Gb /E  D
a  -way slowly
  C              G           C   
I thought of the times I was 
         G
drunk on the railway
/Gb  Em                    A7   
La - mented the time I was 
          D
smashed in the square


Verse 2
=======

   G            /Gb           G   
So around I did wander for to find
 /Gb /E  D
 my  way home
   C            G                
On feet made of nothing it's 
/Gb /E D
har-der to roam
  C              G
I trooped up the coastline
  C           G
A walk on the moor
    Em
Saw no big wide river
   A7               D
No glorious faraway shore


Refrain 1
=========

    G     /Gb       G    /A /B
And every now and a-gain
  C       G                /Gb /E
I go into town just to see my  old 
  D
friends
     C           G
It's such an odd feeling
      C              G
Their eyes burn like embers
      C               G
Their minds are these forests
      C                G
Where thoughts fall as timber
   Em                 A7
Be-fore I'm dragged a-way
C     D         G
Every now and a-gain

Verse 3
=======

    G         /Gb          G     
Now I have no form I could climb 
/Gb /E  D
in  her spine
    C             G               
Her blood is like wine to a ghost 
/Gb   /E D
drunk on sadness
    C             G
And time moves on slowly
   C             G
In time I'll for-give her
   Em
Be-cause when she holds hands with 
him
A7                       D
I know she's thinking of me

I like to i-magine and I like to
     D
 pre-tend
       C        G       C    
It's a glorious feeling I'll be 
      G
re-membered
    C           G           C    
For all my good deeds these 
       G
eighteen De-cembers
   Em                 A7
Be-fore I'm dragged a-way
C     D         G
Every now and a-gain

======

    C           B             Em
Out-side of the book there is no 
resurrection
    Am        D             G
The valley be-low threatens me with 
a home
C        B           Em
Heaven a-bove has no map or 
direction
     C        G          C
When-ever you can cast a glance
       G           D
To the shadows for me


Refrain 3 | end
===============

    G    /Gb         G   /A  /B
Yes I'll try without end
   C           G              /Gb
To seek others like me whom I 
   /E  D
might be -friend
   C             G               
It drives like a madness there's 
C         G
no way to reach them
    C            G
You catch just a glimpse
        C         G
But you never can touch them
   Em                    A7
Be-fore you’re dragged a-way
C     D
Every now
C     D
Every now
C     D         G
Every now and a-gain
