C F
in the blackness of the night
G C
i seem to wander endlessly
F G
with a hope burning out deep inside
F G C Am
i’m a fugitive , community has driven me out
F G C Am
for this bad , bad world i’m beginning to doubt
C F G
i’m alone and there is no one by my side

C F
in the blackness of the night
G C
i see a shadow blasting by
F G
from the heels of an old soldier boy .
F
there’s no compromising
G C Am
and his eyes are black as the sky
F G C Am
for this bad , bad world he is going to die .
C F G
he’s alone and there is no one by his side

C F
in the blackness of the night
G C
i see a sparkle of a star
F G
from the sweet silver tear of a child
F G C Am
and she’s clutching at a photograph of long , long ago
F G C Am
when her parents were happy she was too young to know
C F G
she’s alone and there is no one by her side

C F G C F G F G C Am F G C Am C F G

C F G
i’m alone and there is no one by my side

C F
in the blackness of the night
G C
i seem to wander endlessly
F G
with a hope burning out deep inside
F G C Am
i’m a fugitive , community has driven me out
F G C Am
for this bad , bad world i’m beginning to doubt
C F G
i’m alone and there is no one by my side
