Words & music by Paul Simon 1989
[ch]F#m[/ch] |
Moves like a fist through traffic
|
Anger and no one can heal it
Shoves a little bump into the momentum
|
It's just a little lump
|
But you feel it in the...
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
In the creases and the shadows
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
With a rattling deep emo-tion
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
The cool, cool riv-er
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
[ch]F#m11[/ch] |
Yes Boss. The government handshake
|
Yes Boss. The crusher of language
Yes Boss. Mr. Stillwater,
| |
The face at the edge of the banquet
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
The cool, the cool riv-er
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
The cool, the cool riv-er
F#m11 | |Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
I believe in the future
[ch]D/A[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] |Eadd9add11/B
I may live in my car
| |[ch]F#m/A[/ch]
My radio tuned to
[ch]D/A[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] |Eadd9add11/B |
The voice of a star
|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
[ch]F#m/A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] |
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
Eadd9add11/B | |
And these old hopes and fears
[ch]F#m/A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] | |[ch]F#m[/ch] | |
Still at my side
[ch]F#m[/ch] |
Anger and no one can heal it
|
Slides through the metal detector
Lives like a mole in a motel
| |
A slide in a slide projector
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
The cool, cool riv-er
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
The rage, the rage of love turns inward
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
To prayers of devotion
ch]F#m[/ch
And these prayers are
| |
The constant road across the wilderness
|
These prayers are
|[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|
These prayers are the memory of God
[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] |[ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]|[ch]F#m[/ch] |
The memory of God
|Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
And I believe in the future
[ch]D/A[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] |
We shall suffer no more
Eadd9add11/B | |F#m/A
Maybe not in my lifetime
[ch]D/A[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] |Eadd9add11/B |
But in yours I feel sure
|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
[ch]F#m/A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] |
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
Eadd9add11/B |D
And these streets
|[ch]A[/ch]
Quiet as a sleeping army
|[ch]E7/G#[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] |[ch]D/A[/ch] |
Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven
ch]E/B[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch
For the mother's restless son
| |[ch]D/A[/ch] |
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior
ch]E/B[/ch]|[ch]A[/ch
Who denies his urge to break and run
|
Who says: Hard times?
|
I'm used to them
ch]D/A[/ch
The speeding planet burns
|
I'm used to that
ch]E/B[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch
My life's so common it disappears
| |[ch]D/A[/ch] |
And sometimes even music
[ch]E/B[/ch] |[ch]A[/ch] |
Cannot substitute for tears
Repeat and fade:
|
