Our Man Walter Cronkite

Bm

[Verse 1]
F#m             G          A     Bm
Where are the arms of the world?
F#m                  G          
They've always been able to find
A   Bm
 us
F#m              G           A   Bm
Caught between borders and shores
F#m             G           A
Reaching past danger and blindness
Bbm
My Mother wept over the headlines
Bm                          F#m
The Beatles appeared in my dreams
E                             G  
"Hoo Boy" exclaimed our man 
          Gmaj7
Mister Cronkite

[Bridge]
A                     G        A
As the Eagle touched down on 
    Bm
blurry TV


[Verse 2]
F#m                G           A
And where are the eyes of the 
    Bm
world?
F#m                  G           
They’ve always been able to see 
A  Bm
you

F#m              G            A   Bm
Why did you give up and turn away
F#m                G             A
At the moment that so many need you
Bbm
And the sight of children in cages
Bm                            
While dog whistles stink up the 
   F#m
place
E                             G  
Everything's different but 
               Gmaj7
nothing much changes


[Chorus]
A                 D           G 
Our Man Walter Cronkite would be
         A   A6
 on the case
D                  G             
And what will you miss when 
   A
you're gone?
Bbm
Lovers and songs and light 
ever-changing
Bm                            A  
And the sense that once you 
                F#m
belong to something amazing
A                 G
It was something amazing

[Instrumental]

Gm Bm


[Verse 3]
F#m                        A
Where is the heart of the world?
F#m                             A
I always believed it could love me
F#m                              
It's one of those things without 
A
words
F#m                           A
Like the sight of the stars shining 
above me
Bbm
My Father rode trains Monday to 
Friday
Bm                           F#m
His chin fell asleep on his chest
E                      G         
I carry what's left somewhere 
       Gmaj7
inside me


[Otro]
F#m              G               
Our Man Walter Cronkite has gone 
        A
to his rest
F#m              G          A
Our Man Walter Cronkite is gone
