[Verso 3] C Dm The wind had bent the crop, G G7 C When the mountebanks came back from the hop, E Am Feel lonely on the road, the drivers of the night, Dm Followed the light, E Am F G And took the path to their next plunder or fight . . .. {Instrumental} C Dm/F G G7 C E Am Dm E E Am Am F G G C Dm/F G G7 C E Am Dm E E Am Am F Eb G [Ponte] Ab Bb After a hard day far from the land of the sky, Ab Bb The cardboard clouds returned home without a cry, Bb C The lights went out one by one, Bb C But this day was not like another one, C D The night woke up like a badly washed bitch, C D And the voice of the wind was going off pitch, Eb F I was always on the rack!
