The Crowd
G Dmin
Lord unchain my hands
G Dmin
let me sing inside the crowded trams
G Dmin
let me dance among the traffic jams
G
we're going to sleep
Dmin
on the St Kilda sands
G Dmin
Lord unbind my feet
G
let me mingle with the good people
Dmin
we meet
G Dmin
water rising up into the street
G Dmin
unbind my feet
G
?The apparition of these faces in
the crowd;
Dmin
petals on a wet black bough"
G
Ezra Pound found the formula
our houses are rectangular
Dmin
but life is curved not angular
so when things start to strangular
remember
G
rain still falls on the halls of power
Dmin
new babies being born every hour
G
and the eagle keeps watch on the old clock tower
Dmin~
over me...
CHORUS
G
On the train I refrain from sitting with head and shoulders bowed
Dmin
they told me time is of the essence
no wandering allowed
G
but then I saw a pretty girl
whose features stood out in the crowd
Dmin
went ten minutes past my stop waiting for her to look around
G
I'm just another clown kicking around in Melbourne town
Dmin
cooling out, relaxing watching the
world go round
G
so if you ever have the time
and you want to go drink some wine
Dmin
I'd rather greet you with a smile
than greet you with a frown...
G Dmin
Lord unchain my hands
G Dmin
let me sing inside the crowded trams
G Dmin
let me dance among the traffic jams
G
we're going to sleep
Dmin
on the St Kilda sands
G Dmin
Lord unbind my feet
G
let me mingle with the good people
Dmin
we meet
G Dmin
water rising up into the street
G Dmin
unbind my feet
