[Intro] G  C7M(9) 
        G  C7M(9) 

       G
When I saw her cursed
         C7M(9)
Muddy and confused
           C7M(9)                     G
Asking to return to that bygone foggy view
                  G
Dust falls to the ground
               C7M(9)
Showing who we are
                   C7M(9)                 D9
The lie will always fall for peace or for war
                        C
All the famine of good songs
               D9
Has led her to believe
                       C
That her name and face belong
        C   G/B     A
To another deck of cards

[Chorus]

A                     C
All the Village Fifty-Two
                       Eb
Says the Madman Myth is true
             G
How couldn’t be?
A                   C
Everybody fears the fool
                         Eb
And up to now she has no clue
             G  D/F#  F6  C
The Joker is me

( G  D/F#  F6  C )

               G
I’ve been here alone
            C7M(9)
For so many years
           C7M(9)                       G
Waiting for someone to bring me back my tears
               G
When I lost myself
                C7M(9)
All the music’s gone
             C7M(9)                 D9
Now somebody else is raising up my tone
                        C
And I know she needs my songs
                   D9
As I need her sympathy
                            C
This combination seems so strong
            C        G/B     A
But I don’t know if she will see

( G  D/F#  F6  C )
( Am7(9)  Am6(9)  Am9  Em/G )
( G  D/F#  F6  C )
( Am7(9)  Am6(9)  Am9  Em/G )

[Chorus]

G
When I saw her cursed
          C7M(9)
Muddy and confused
            C7M(9)                    G
Asking to return to that bygone foggy view
                   G
Dust falls to the ground
               C7M(9)
Showing who we are
                   C7M(9)
The lie will always fall for peace or for war
