Heavy Disguise by The Strawbs 
**************************************************
********      [Found by Sinay]       ************************
**************************************************
Capo on the sixth fret.
CCrowded afterGnoon and there's Bbnot enough Froom in the Ccity toDday
The Cpeople asGsembled to Bbhear what reFsembled eCvangelists Dsay
GSome came just to see them for a laugh
Others to be BbfreFeC  
CFools must preGtend to be Bbwise
We've a Ffaith that we Cuse as a Dheavy disGguiseC.D  G  C  D  
Same chords ..
Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just wringing their hands
The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands
I'd so many questions I could ask
I wanted to be free
Fools must pretend to be wise
We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived
Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive
Can't ignore the feeling in the air
Glad that I was there
Fools must pretend to be wise
We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right
And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight
I cannot begin to understand
The suffering tonight
Fools must pretend to be wise
We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.

Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just wringing their hands

The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands

I'd so many questions I could ask

I wanted to be free

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.

Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived

Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive

Can't ignore the feeling in the air

Glad that I was there

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.

Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right

And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight

I cannot begin to understand

The suffering tonight

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
