Dmaj9 C#m7 Cdim7
Like a bolt out from the blue
Did you feel it too? - I remember that
[Verse 1]
Name me one little thing
You'll be wanting to keep
As you give up the ghost
As you sink into sleep
[Bridge]
Maybe her face in the morning
Maybe his in the evening
Maybe words never spoken
Aren't they the ones worth hearin'?
Say: "I remember that" Aaaah!

[Verse 2]
'Cause that's all we can have
Yes, it's all we can trust
It's a hell of a ride
But a journey to dust
[Bridge]
And there's nothing pathetic
Listing clothes she'd wear
If it proves that I had you
If it proves I was there
Say: "I remember that" Aaaah!

[Verse 1]
A A
Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings
When the distant sea blended with the sky
Past Coliseums filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass
I carried in my heart a word or two
[Chorus]
Your dashing horseman all gone away
Left you the stable bill to pay
And now the golden calf has turned to clay
F#7sus4
All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
White and open-necked you would still play
[Verse 2]
A A
I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sails
With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring
But every night was Halloween, and every friend fell in between
And how capricious nature ruled my mind
[Chorus]
Your dashing horseman all gone away
Left you the stable bill to pay
And now the golden calf has turned to clay
F#7sus4
All my feelings dressed in gloves
Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love
F#7sus4 Dmaj7
White and open-necked you would still play

Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings
When the distant sea blended with the sky
My mouth was full of cigarettes, my hair is full of long-term bets
But you would always make me see the day
[Chorus]
Your dashing horseman all gone away
Left you the stable bill to pay
And now the golden calf has turned to clay

Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love

[Intro]
The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me- e
And all us poor cripples who've been in the wa-a-ars
End up sleeping on her floor
[Link]
Eb Gsus4/D
Whoa! Whoa-whoa-woah-woah!
[Verse 1]
When you're scared of down and out
You keep it to yourself
And if anyone suspects
You say: "Who, me? Hardly!"
You tell him: "Thank your stars
This isn't Derby day
'Cause it's clear you've got the gift
For backing the wrong horse, Charlie"
[Link]
Eb Gsus4/D
Whoa! Whoa-whoa-woah-woah!
[Verse 2]
When you're scared of down and out
You camouflage your fear
With a fakin' D.J. smile
And maybe some boogie dancin'
But there's no need to be proud
Hey if something's hurtin' you
Could be it hurts your brothers too
From Langley Park to Memphis
[Bridge]
Last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head
The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me-e-e, singin’ ...
[Middle 8]

"Sometimes the job gets you down

[Link]
Eb Em7
Whoa! Whoa-whoa-woah-woah!
[Verse 3]
Now some will spin you yarns
To keep you quiet for a while
But you know that's not my style
Who needs fancy footwork?
'Cos none of it adds up
No, it doesn't weigh a thing
And it doesn't buy you beer
From Langley Park to Memphis
[Bridge]
Last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head
The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me-e-e, singin’ ...
