[Intro][Chorus]
| Am C | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am              C                  G     G7
  It's a simple song for simple feeling
Am            C                 E    E7
  You see the moon and watch it rise
F            C             G               G7
  Across the continent the night bird sings
Am              E                 Am   C  | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
  And somewhere someone hears its cry
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am        C                  G        G7
  So disillusioned keep your head down
Am           C                E    E7
  and if you do they'll never know
F                C                G         G7
  You'll have no answers to their questions
Am              E                Am   Am7
  And they will have to let you  go
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am         C              G      G7
  And disenfranchised revolution
Am              C                   E    E7
  They'll take away by right what's yours
F              C               G        G7
  And make you martyrs of your own cause
Am                E                    Am   Am7
  When they don't know what cause it's for
 
 
[Verse 4]
Am             C              G     G7
  And all deserted stand  alerted
Am                 C                E    E7
  They'll love you when you're all alone
F                C               G           G7
  But you find a red rose in the morning light
Am             E                 Am   C  | G G7 | Am E | Am Am7 |
  You wait the night and find it gone
 
 
[Outro]
Am           C                       G     G7
  So hear my words with faith and passion
Am           C             E    E7
  For what I say to you is true
F              C                G           G7
  And when you find the one you might become
Am          E             Am  C        G      G7
  Remember art of me is you  Hum-hum Humm-huhum
Am         E             Am    Am
  Remember part of me is you
