EVERY STRANGER'S EYES
"Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking"
Waters
CHORDS
When I play this, it sounds pretty good when you embellish slightly on the
C, Am, and G chords (for instance I'll just hammer-on the D string for the
C & Am, and on the A for the G chord. Listen to the record and you'll hear
what I mean).
INTRO:
 C Am Dm G
VERSE:
In Ctruck stops, and hamburger joints,
   AmIn Cadillac limosuines, in the company of
DmHas-beens and bent-backs
  GAnd sleeping forms on pavement steps,
In Clibraries and railway stations,
   AmIn books and banks,
   DmIn the pages of history
And Gsuicidal cavalry attacks I recognizeC  Am  
  FMyself in Gevery stranger's Ceyes.
And in Cwheelchairs by monuments,
   AmUnder tube trains, commuter accidents,
   DmIn council care and county courts,
  GAt Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,
  CIn drawing rooms and city morgues,
In award-winning Amphotographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,
In Dmtransit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,
  GAnd faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognizeC  Am  
  FMyself in Gevery stranger's Ceyes.
And Cnow, from where I Amstand, upon this Dmhill I've plundered from the pGoor
I look aCround, I search the Amsky, I Dmshade my eyes so nearly Gblind
And I've seen Csights of half-reC/Gmembered Amdays, I hear bells that Fchime in
strange,
        familiar waysG  
I recognize  C     Am   Fthe hope you Gkindle in your CeyesF  G  Em  Am  Dm  G  
  CIt's oh, so easy now, as we Flie here in the Gdark
        Em                              Am                  Dm
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to
snuff out the
                    G       CCCC
        smoke of our love.

EVERY STRANGER'S EYES

"Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking"

Waters

CHORDS

When I play this, it sounds pretty good when you embellish slightly on the

C, Am, and G chords (for instance I'll just hammer-on the D string for the

C & Am, and on the A for the G chord. Listen to the record and you'll hear

what I mean).

INTRO:

C Am Dm G

VERSE:

In truck stops, and hamburger joints,

In Cadillac limosuines, in the company of

Has-beens and bent-backs

And sleeping forms on pavement steps,

In libraries and railway stations,

In books and banks,

In the pages of history

G C Am

And suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize

F G C

Myself in every stranger's eyes.

And in wheelchairs by monuments,

Under tube trains, commuter accidents,

In council care and county courts,

At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,

In drawing rooms and city morgues,

In award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,

In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,

G C Am

And faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize

F G C

Myself in every stranger's eyes.

C Am Dm G

And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've plundered from the poor

C Am Dm G

I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so nearly blind

C C/G Am F

And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I hear bells that chime in

strange,

familiar ways

C Am F G C F G Em Am Dm G

I recognize the hope you kindle in your eyes

C F G

It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark

Em Am Dm

Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to

snuff out the

smoke of our love.
