Trojan Blues by Icehouse
Verse 1:
AmThe soldiers standing Fmaj7/Aon the shore
take up their Ggolden shieldsAm  
You watch them Fmaj7/Afrom your room
high on the Gcity wailsAm  
In the distance on the Fmaj7/Ashifting sea
a thousand Gcoloured sails
Is this the Ammoment you made
is this the Fmaj7/Away that you planned
you know it Gwon`t be long now
Chorus:
GThe finest Dadd9treasures of kings
all of those E7sus4precious things
they never Bbtempted you
So as you Dadd9stood in the ruins
how could you E7sus4bear to look on
as they Bbburned for you?C  G  
The broken Dadd9pieces of clay
and the E7sus4palest eyes, painted in
BbTrojan blue
Verse 2:
AmYou remember how it Fmaj7/Aused to be
when you were Gjust a girl
AmNothing really Fmaj7/Amattered then
you can Gremember so well
AmHow you used to hold your Fmaj7/Ahead so high
those days will Gnever return ..(to chorus)
Verse 3:
AmDust is drifting in the Fmaj7/Aevening air
across the Gfield below
The silver Ammirror you hold will Fmaj7/Anever tell...
you turn your Gface away ..(to chorus)
