ALL THESE STRANGERS

...................G.............................................C
"Mistreat me darling and I might just disappear"
.........D..............................................G
Upon freighter running dark out of Algiers
......F.....E............F...............E
Put tiny grains in children's tears
....................Am....................C
While taking 25% of all the flashbulbs and mementoes
................D..........................................................G
From the mechanized divisions rolling over your frontiers

I saw my baby talking to a man today
Speaking softly in a confidential way
I saw a shadow pull his glove off
As a bluebird flew over
Life's is no pleasure
When you doubt the one you love

Who Are All These Strangers?

...........Eb...Bb.........Eb
I never will go back again
.....G....................C
Go back into the past
.......G....................C
The flood is rising fast
Eb.........................Bb........................Eb
You can break your window and look down
...Am
Into a muddy glass
.....C........................D
It's mirror or lens to burn
